New Year’s Holidays

Three days during New Year’s holidays are the most important and special days for Japanese people. People wear kimono and visit shrines to pray for their happy new year. This is called “Hatsumoude”, meaning the first visit to shrine. Why don’t you follow this custom and enjoy a new year’s sake and a fortune slip at the shrine?
