Visited to Shrine on New year's day 初詣で

About Hatumoude: It is Japanese custom to visit shrine or temple to pray on 1st Jan.
I visited "Hiyoshi shrine" in our home town this afternoon but there was a long line of waiting people. 

It is very cold to waiting for long time !

Getting close to the main entrance.

Miko-san (mediums) sell charms and talismans here.

  2. Yes, it is well-known and big temple in Kawasaki. I have never been there, though. This is the site of Kawasakitaishi, probably you have known already^^
