On New Year's Eve, we Japanese cleanse the sins of the year with the "New Year's Eve", and on New Year's Day the next day, we will start the new year and perform a "Hatsumode" to pray for the peace of the year.Six months after its inception, after the "Summer Otoharae", which also purifies the filth, and wishes for more peace in the half year, thanking for the safety of the past half a year, as a turning point of the half of the year, after July 1st. I also visit shrines and temples.We call this new custom "summer pilgrimage" and would like to nurture it together so that it becomes a custom that Japan should protect and convey.

Reiwa 4th year "Summer pilgrimage"

Reiwa 4th year "Summer pilgrimage"
Although the new coronavirus infections that have been rampant all over the world are showing signs of gradual convergence,
While there are still some restrictions on life and economic activities,
We hope that you will spend your days paying attention to various aspects.

The city of Asakusa, which was very busy during normal times with many people coming,
Gradually, the number of people is returning,
The days of trial and error are continuing to regain the vitality of the past.

Because of that "now", we will return to the origin of living once again.
It can be seen as a unique opportunity to cherish the occasional milestones and review the customs and customs of Japan.

Even now, we are not in a safe situation for the spread of infection,
To make you feel the importance of "praying and gratitude" in your daily life.
We are pleased to announce that this year's "Summer Visit" will be held as scheduled.

We will take all possible measures to prevent infection, and the scale will be reduced to some extent.
Through visiting the shrine at the turning point of half a year,
We hope that you will invigorate the city of Asakusa in order to regain the bustle of the past.

Please enjoy yourself while feeling "summer" in Asakusa, which is starting to restart.
