hatsumode

In Japan, "hatsumode" is the initial visit of a temple or shrine in New Year. There is no fixed period for "hatsumode" yet most of people visit on the first, second or third day of the year because most are off work during these days.

Shown is the video of Hatsumode at the Fushimi Inari Shrine、Kyoto
