A Happy New Year !I celebrated the New Year with my family in the morning, having 'festive food for the New Year' that I made yesterday and drinking 'Japanese Sake'.

In the afternoon, I walked to a shrine near my house to pray for our healthy and happy life this year.
Some people were also praying there.
Though many big and famous shrines all over Japan are crowded with great many people on new year days, this shrine wasn't crowded at all.
I felt fresh and happy to go there.
May this year be a happy, peaceful and fruitful one !
Your way is the one I expect for on New Years' Day, I couldn't do it though.
That is one way of spending new year days.
I envy your family.
ya421さん、おせち豪華ですね
大きな神社仏閣もいいですが、初詣は、近所の神社が1番ですよね。
今年もどうぞよろしくお願いいたします。
一見豪華に見えるお節は超手抜きです。
手作りより既製品を詰め合わせたものの方がはるかに多いのです。
元日に氏神様に参ったのはこれが最初ですが、有名な神社への初詣もよいですが、本来は氏神様に参るものらしいですね。
それでは本年もどうぞ宜しくお願い致します。
