On new year's day, we call it OSHOUGATSU, most of Japanese go to
shrine or temple to pray for good luck and our health.
This is called Hatsumoude.

There is Sensouji temple 5mins walk from Sakura Hostel and it is one of the
most popular temple for Hatsumoude.
Every year, they have 1.7 million people on that day!

And also, on new year's eve, we are going to there to ring or hear the bell. (Called Joya no Kane)
If you are lucky person, you may have a chance to ring the bell.
Only 108 people can do it.
