Welcome to the Ichigaya Kamegaoka Hachimangu Shrine in Tokyo, a Shinto shrine which offers blessing and protection for dogs! Dog lovers received New Year blessings all for about $45, which are intended to protect pets from predators, sicknesses and other evils. Some used the occasion to dressed their pooches in custom outfits. According to the Chinese Zodiac, the Year of the Dog begins on February 16.
