Hatsumode. The first visit to the shrine in 2014.
A little video here.
Amazake.
Omikuji.
Hatsumode.
Throw a goen coin, ring the bell, clap twice, bow, make a wish...
(and, ahem, ramen)
Happy New Year, Sandwiches!

ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Marie. I hope you can come and visit Japan soon!
DeleteWOW! We were at the same shrine yesterday. Half expected to see me and my family in one of your pics;-) I'm sure I regularly pass you by on the street in Shimokita, but haven't met you yet! I really enjoy reading your updates, particularly as they are about the place I live too...
ReplyDeleteWow, what a coincidence. We went just before sunset so maybe you had already been by then. I'm so pleased you are able to enjoy Hello Sandwich.
DeleteIt's so beautiful! I don't know what I can do without your posts, I am discovering so many aspects of Japan I didn't know before thanks to them! :) Thank you for that.
ReplyDeleteNawww that's very sweet Barbara. I'm learning so much about Japan as I get about my daily life and it's a pleasure to share with you.
