Japanese Lucky Days Calendar
In Japan, many people still check the traditional calendar before starting something new, buying a wallet or making a wish. This calendar shows the best-known lucky days and the times of the new and full moon (Japan Standard Time).
Tensha-nichi (天赦日)
Considered the most auspicious day of the year, when "heaven forgives all." It comes only five or six times a year and is a favorite day to start new projects.
Ichiryu Manbai-bi (一粒万倍日)
"The day one grain becomes ten thousand." Things started on this day are said to grow and multiply, so people open businesses or begin savings on it.
Tiger Day (寅の日)
Every 12 days. The tiger is linked to good fortune with money, so it is a popular day to buy a new wallet or set off on a trip.
Snake Day (巳の日)
Every 12 days, linked to Benzaiten, the goddess of wealth and the arts. The rarer Tsuchinoto-Mi day (己巳) comes once every 60 days.
These lucky days come from Japanese folk tradition. They are a fun guide for planning, not a promise of results. Moon times are calculated and may differ by a few minutes.
