Happy New Year
On this day, we reflect on the achievements and challenges of the past year, while celebrating the fact that we made it to another fresh start. As we move into 2022, let us think about how we hope to learn, grow and prioritize the things that matter most
Today, people across Japan will practice hatsumode, the first temple or shrine visit of the New Year. Good wishes for the year ahead are made, and new omamori (amulets) and omikuji (fortunes) are bought
In Kochi, there are multitudes of temples and shrines where people gather for hatsumode, including Chikurin-ji Temple (with its iconic five-storied pagoda) and the over 700-year-old Kochi Hachimangu Shrine
Wherever you are, we hope you have a wonderful New Year’s Day! Love from Kochi
