Today, after we finished cleaning up the gurst rooms we went to Shirahama shrine.

Most Japanese visit a shirine or a buddhist temple as a first time of new year to pray for comfort and health on the 1st, 2nd or 3rd January.

This is called "Hatsumode", the first visit shrine of new year.

That's why there were a lot of people at Shirahama shirine today and were some women in Kimono.

After praying we took a photo in fron of Haiden (hall of worship) all together.
