Toka Ebisu Taisai, also known as Business Prosperity Festival, takes place in Ebisu Shrine in Kyoto as part of the Japan's number of annual new year celebrations.

It is said that thousands of people visit Ebisu Shine to pray and ask for success and prosperity in their jobs and business in the new year. Some even buy a good luck bamboo branch prior to entering the sacred place and pray to the Deity of Commerce for Success in Business. The feast is usually held on Janaury 10 every year.
