New Year Blessings

Temple visit Naritasan Yokohama Betsuin Temple Address: 30 Miyazakicho, Nishi Ward, Yokohama, Kanagawa 220-0031, Japan One of the popular temples and the best time to receive well wishes will be on New Year Day. It will be very crowded but do not worry too much because everyone will be queueing in lines for their turn. You will walk under the torii gate, do a cleansing ritual before you enter the temple. This cleansing ritual is an act of ritual purification to wash away your impurities. There are also many charms for you to seek blessings and you can buy according to your needs. For example, smoothing sailing at work, good grades in school and seeking love. When you reach the shrine, you can also do the praying ritual by Two-two-one（二礼二拍手一礼). You will bow twice, clap twice then bow once again. #japan #createwithtrip #overseastripmoments #urbanexplorer
