Hatsumōde

Make a New Year resolution!!
Hatsumōde
is the first shrine visit of the New Year in Japan. Some people visit a Buddhist temple instead. Many visit on the first, second, or third day of the year.
Generally, wishes for the new year are made.

We have good place to visit to make wishes!

The first one @ Grumphmunch.
This one is called "Inari", and Inari Shrine represents fox statues, as you can see there are foxes on this picture below.



This is a small shrine, shops and Japanese style buildings are around here.
To go shopping, see links on the right(Grumphmunch)◕‿◕


The next one, this shrine is near the ocean.
The creator who made this shrine said, he was inspired by "Itsukushima Shrine".
You can see beautiful Torii in here @ Buncrana.



Let's celebrate new year with brilliant SL's sun◕‿◕
