On March 3, we went to the Daruma Ichi (Daruma Market) at Jindaiji Temple. Jindaiji Temple is located in Chofu about half hour via train from Shinjuku station. Jindaiji is one of the oldest temples in Tokyo.
The Daruma Ichi is an annual event held on March 3 and 4.
There are many vendors that sell Daruma at the festival. There are hundred of thousands of people that purchase the Daruma for good luck. We braved the crowds to purchase our Daruma.
You can fill in the eye yourself. Or you can have one of the priests draw the eye in and bless the Daruma.
