Hatsumode at Kiyoshikojin. ⛩️ Love how a temple and a shrine coexist here. Warming up with Atsukan (Hot sake), Oden(Japanese hot pot), and Barazushi(Mixed sushi rice) afterward is my favorite Japanese winter tradition.

A short Video clip of my visit to Ujikami Shrine in Kyoto.

Ujikami Shrine, a profound historical landmark, is renowned for housing the oldest original Shinto shrine building in Japan, dating back to approximately 1060. Initially constructed as a guardian shrine for the nearby Byodo-in Temple, it is celebrated for its elegant “Nagare-zukuri” architectural style. Here are some interesting facts: Ancient Heritage: The Honden, the main hall of the shrine, is a National Treasure and stands as the oldest example of shrine architecture in the country. Imperial Connection: The shrine houses Emperor Ojin and his sons, including the renowned scholar-prince Uji no Wakiiratsuko, whose significance is celebrated in local legends. Natural Spring: The shrine grounds boast the “Kirihara-sui,” one of the seven renowned ancient springs of Uji and the only one still flowing today.

Year of the Horse 2026: Shimogamo Shrine in Kyoto.
Shimogamo Shrine (下鴨神社) exudes a quietly powerful presence, where ancient Kyoto seems to breathe alongside the New Year. #shimogamoshrine #下鴨神社 #shinesezodiac #newyear #kyototrip #kyotojapan #yearofthehorse #shinto #shintoshrine #hatsumode #初詣帰り
Year of the Horse 2026: Go-ō Shrine, affectionately known as the “Boar Shrine,” is dedicated to protecting the legs and hips, a tradition dating back to an encounter with wild boars in the 8th century.

Hatsumōde (初詣) is a Japanese tradition where people visit Shinto shrines or Buddhist temples for their first New Year’s visit. During this time, they pray for health, happiness, and good fortune for the coming year. People often draw omikuji fortunes and buy new omamori amulets. Hatsumōde typically takes place from January 1st to the first few days of the year and is a significant spiritual renewal and fresh beginning in Japanese culture.

For our Hatsumode in 2026, we visited the Goo Shrine (護王神社), across from the Imperial Palace grounds. It’s one of my favourite spots in Kyoto because of its mystical atmosphere.
