Happy New Year everyone!
How did you spend your New Year's?
In Japan, people will visit shrines and temples during the New Year and pay respects to the deities.
This practice is known as 初詣 (hatsumode).
Allow us to introduce some of the famous shrines in Kansai!
*Note to Kibune Jinja visitors: As the train tracks of the Eizan railway have been damaged by mudslide due to heavy rains last August, trains will only run up to Ichihara station and not the usual Kibuneguchi station.
