Heisei 30 (2018)
7 days from Saturday, June 30th - Sunday, July 1st - Saturday, July 7th
Venue: Asakusa Shrine "Three companies" Asakusa 22,– 33– 11, Taito-ku, Tokyo

We Japanese exil themselves for a year at "New Year's Eve in the New Year's Eve" and we will do the "Hatsumode" which worships the peace of the year and wishes for the peaceful of that year, starting on the New Year of the next day on the New Year's Day.After six months from the beginning, after going through the "Great Exciture through the Summer" who also pursues innocence, I wish for a further seminal peace for the coming half year, thankfully for the past six months, as a half of a year for the coming year, after July 1 I also visit shrines and temples.I would like to nurture this new habit together as "customs summer" so that it will become a custom that Japan should protect.

Summer vacation Natsu-Mode
It is Japanese tradition to visit a shrine on New Year's Eve to purify one's mind and soul before beginning new year. On New Year's Day, one will visit the shrine once again praying for a peaceful and healthy year, this act is called called Hatsu -Mode (literally translated as, the First Worship).
Natsu means summertime in Japanese so Natsu-Mode is the Summertime Worship. With half a year gone by, one will visit the shrine again at the end of June to cleanse their sins they have accumulated through the first half of the year, and make another visit in the beginning of July to pray for peace and health for the second half of the year.
