shrine visit

Trip to temple

A shrine visit is a trip to a sacred site, typically a Shinto shrine in Japan, for worship, prayer, or seasonal observance.

New Year shrine visits (hatsumode) draw massive crowds seeking blessings for the coming year.

The practice involves ritual cleansing, offering coins, and clapping to summon the spirits.

We made a shrine visit to pray for good luck on the exams.
