New-year visits to shrines: Jan 1-3, 2023

 


T
he year of 2023 began.

Tokyo is peace, but Ukraine and some other countries are in war.

I hope the situations will be better in the conflict-torn areas.

 


I visited shrines and temples to make my new-year prays.

Many people made a long queue at Yoyogi Hachiman in Shibuya City, in Tokyo. (See also the top photo)


Calligraphy of school kids were displayed at the sides of the approach.


Open-air stalls were open for the visitors.

 


I also visited Rokusho Shrine in Setagaya City. (See also the 2nd photo)

The left photo is a scene taken in the night.

I prayed not only for my good health and happiness but also for peace in Ukraine.
