A Happy New Year!

How is your new year day?

It was a beautiful and fine day today in Tokyo.

I visited to a Shrine for Hatsumode （はつもうで）with my family.

Hatsumode is New Year’s Visit to Shinto shrine.

Yoyogi Hachiman Jinjya　代々木八幡神社

There was a line to pray.

I waited for about 30 minutes.

After praying I got a special Sake called “Omiki（お神酒）”.

My family drew fortune slips.

I got “good luck （吉）” and my son got “very good luck（大吉）”.

I enjoyed the new year’s morning.

Have a happy new year!
