The road-safety charm in a brocade pouch.

Tokyo Omamori Post is an independent shop, not affiliated with or endorsed by Kawasaki Daishi Temple. The temple name shows where each charm was obtained.

Where it's from

Ordered from the official online 授与所 (charm office) of Kawasaki Daishi Temple (川崎大師), Kawasaki, Kanagawa — just across the river from Tokyo.

How it's traditionally kept

Traditionally an omamori is kept closed — opening it is thought to undo its purpose. Most people carry it in a bag, pocket or wallet, or keep it somewhere clean at home.

In Japan it is common, though not required, to return an omamori to a shrine or temple (not necessarily the same one) after about a year and receive a new one.

Delivery
We obtain this charm from the temple after you order, so it ships from Tokyo in about 1 week.
