Kyoto Sanzenin's radish cooking

I would like to introduce Sanzenin's radish cooking.

Take city bus 17 or 18 from JR Kyoto Station, get off at Ohara, and walk 5 minutes to Sanzen-in Temple.

The annual "Hatsuuma Daikon-daki" will be held at Kyoto Ohara Sanzen-in for four days from February 10 (Friday) to 13 (Monday), 2023.

■Date and time: February 10 (Friday) to February 13 (Monday), 2023

■Hours: 9:00-16:00

■Venue: Fudodo-mae Square

■Sanzen-in temple fee (700 yen for adults) is required.

Praying for a happy new year for all who visit the shrine, every year on the first day of February, the Daikon-taki that calls for happiness is held in front of the Okunoin Konjiki Fudo-do Hall.

Visitors are treated to free hot daikon radishes soaked in dashi to the core.

In the severe winter of Ohara no Sato, let's enjoy the hot radish that is specially offered as a prayer, and pray for good health and good luck.

Kamigamo Shrine Musha Shinji Ritual

This time, I will introduce the Kamigamo Shrine Musha Shinji Ritual.

From JR Kyoto Station, take the city bus No. 4 and get off at Kamigamo-jinja-mae, then walk for about 15 minutes to arrive at Kamigamo-jinja Shrine.

The Musashi Shinji is a traditional event that began with the "shooting ceremony" held in the Imperial Palace during the Heian period.

It is a Shinto ritual to ward off evil spirits by shooting arrows, and is held at 10:30 am on January 16th.

Free.

In the Musha Shinji ritual, the Oomatoshiki ceremony is held on New Year's Day to ward off evil spirits by shooting red-lacquered arrows with a diameter of about 1.8 meters.

After the ritual is over, the Ogasawara-ryu Kinki Ryoyukai will perform the Momoteshiki ceremony in accordance with the ancient ceremony.

Enjoy sacred occasions.

That’s it.
