初詣に成田山新勝寺に週末行きました。

We went to Naritasan Shinshoji temple for Hatsumoude last Sunday.
Hatsumoude means New year’s visits to shrines or temples.

生まれた時から来てると言っても過言ではない成田山。
去年来られなかったので二年分のお礼と新年のお祈りをして
気分スッキリ！です。

It’s not an exaggeration to say that I’m coming Naritasan every year
since the day of my birth. But I couldn’t come here last year so
I gave a prayer of thanks for two years, and prayed for happiness
and good health of my families in the coming year.

Every Japanese has each favorite shrines and temples.
On the other hand, anytime we can freely visit any shrines or temples
when the spirits moved. We are believing that there are
the homes of gods in all beings, things, creations and nature.
So I also went to Kandamyojin shrine near my mothers hospital
a few days later. 🙂

参加しているfacebookなどみてると皆さんそれぞれに
ご贔屓の神社仏閣があるようで面白いです。
そして「縛り」がないところも八百万の神を愛でる日本
のいい所で、同じ週には母病院近くの神田明神にもご挨拶しました。
