Happy New Year

I wish you good health and happiness in 2017.

This mountain (Mt. Tsukubasan) has the old Shinto shrine at its foot.

In the beginning of a new year, many people come here to pray for their family happiness and good health during the year.

A big bell is hung under the hall roof of worship.

This is a lion guarding the shrine.
