Starting the new year Temple visit: Walking in Japan – Hatsumode
The journey to Naritasan Shinshoji Temple begins at Narita Station, kicking off one of Japan’s most cherished New Year traditions: the temple visit for hatsumode. This tradition, part of Shogatsu (Japanese New Year), involves making the first prayer of the year at a shrine or temple to express gratitude and wish for blessings in the months ahead.
In this video, I explore the vibrant streets of Narita city, enjoy a warm cup of amazake (a sweet rice drink), and walk past colorful festival stalls filled with delicious treats. The festive atmosphere is alive with excitement as people make their way to the temple.
Whether you’re curious about Japanese culture or love immersive walking tours, this video captures the essence of Japan’s New Year celebrations.
📍 Stay tuned for Part 2 as we dive deeper into this iconic walk!
