Today, my series of posts about New Year in Japan is coming to an end with a view pictures of Hatsumode (going to the shrine on New Year’s) taken on January 2nd at one of my favorite Shinto shrine, Iwaseo Hachiman-gū.
So for the last time Happy New Year 2012!
This post concludes my series about New Year in Japan. More on the topic in one year.
We don’t always visit our temple in Kyoto on New Year’s Day because of all the crowds. We try and make the first visit of the New Year a few days later.
