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.
