Shrine in neighbourhood



Shrine in neighbourhood

Usually it is rare to visit here, but visited for new year.
It was so calm even in new year 3days.
Just a few people were there for pray.

Kawasaki Daishi

Visited Kawasaki Daishi (Temple Heigenji) for New Year pray.
It's so crowded, took time to enter.
To Japanese it is custom to visit shrines or temples for new year first visit.

hatsu mohde (Fierst visits shrines or temples in new Year)
When foreigners observe this, they are likely to think Japanese are very religious, especially when they see the crowds of Japanese who visit shrines or temples on the first few days of the year.
Actually people visit not for religious reasons, but rather to pray for things such as health for ones' family and prosperity in business.
