  1. This morning, we participated in hatsumode, the first temple or shrine visit of the year, at Haritsuna-jinja by the base of Inuyama Castle. It is possible to do this in many places at midnight but we opted not to. It is traditionally done within the first 3 days of the year.

  4. If staying up until midnight or cramming in with shrine-going crowds on Jan. 1 isn’t to your fancy, try the Shichifukujin Meguri, or Seven Lucky Gods pilgrimage, over the course of a week. japantimes.co.jp/life/2024/12/ #life #travel #hatsumode #newyear #temples #shrines #shinto #buddhism #livinginjapan
