When should I go for New Year's visit?
Many people go to visit New Year's Day (January 1st) or the third day (January 1st to January 3rd).
as early as possible in the new year
It is said that it is a good idea to visit the shrine on the third day of the month, so if you cannot go on the third day of the month, it is common to visit Matsunouchi (January 1st to January 7th *see below).
Generally up to Matsu no Uchi
During New Year's, people decorate entrances and gates with kadomatsu as a sign to guide the god of good fortune (toshigami) into the house. The period during which the gods stay is called ``Matsu no Uchi.''
How long Matsunouchi lasts depends on the region.
Although there are exceptions and it is difficult to distinguish clearly, Matsunouchi is said to be open until January 7th in eastern and northern Japan, and until January 15th in western Japan.
New Year's visit is held in Matsunouchi
It seems that there are many cases.
If you are unable to go, please wait until the first day of spring.
Nowadays, there are an increasing number of situations where people are encouraged to spread out to avoid crowds.
New Year's visit also depends on the temple and shrine.
Estimated time is until the first day of spring (usually February 4th)
Some places even ask people to ``visit the shrine when they are free.'' You should consider your schedule, weather, and physical condition, and make sure to visit carefully, rather than just following a fixed schedule.
Time to go to New Year's visit
Regarding New Year's visit, if the temple is open during the opening hours of the shrine,
There is no specific time period.
.
Many temples and shrines that are normally not open to worship at night remain open during the New Year's visit period. Please check the official website before going out.
Should you go to a shrine or a temple for New Year's visit?
New Year's visit to a shrine or temple,
It's ok to go anywhere!
It is said that it is a good idea to visit the local deity of the area where you live, but this is not always the case. For each benefit,
multiple temples and shrines
It's okay to go around.
About worship etiquette
Next, I will briefly explain the etiquette for visiting the shrine.
*Etiquette may vary depending on the sect or temple.
shrine
-
Bow briefly in front of the torii gate
(Avoid passing through the center as much as possible) -
Purify your mind and body at the wash station
(Left hand → right hand → mouth → ladle handle, in this order) - Make an offering in front of the shrine
- Ring the bell and bow deeply
- Put your hands together, clap twice, and pray with your eyes closed.
- A deep bow at the end
temple
- Bow once and pass through the Sanmon gate
-
Purify your mind and body at the wash basin
(Left hand → right hand → mouth → ladle handle, in this order) - If there is an incense burner in front of the main hall, offer incense etc.
- Bow in front of the saisen box and make an offering.
- Ring the bell and silently put your hands together *No applause
- A deep bow at the end
How much can I offer?
There are no rules regarding the amount or denomination of offerings for both shrines and temples.
Hatsumode is a special event that only happens once a year. In order to pray with all your heart, it is a good idea to prepare an offering of a particular amount and coin.
Although there is no basis or rule, we will introduce some puns related to offering coins!
- 5 yen : I wish you luck.
- 20 yen : I hope we have a double bond.
- 20 yen (4 5 yen coins) : I hope you have good luck.
- 45 yen : I wish you luck from beginning to end.
- 115 yen : I hope you have a good relationship.
- 10 yen coin ：Toen (distant relation, ties becoming distant)
- 500 yen coin ：Highest denomination coin = There is no better effect.
If you go to New Year's visit, we recommend wearing a kimono.
