Hatsumoude

I went to "Hatsumoude (初詣で)" at Naritasan Sinshoji (成田山新勝寺).
Hatsumoude is one of Japan's New Year's traditions. That means New Year's first visit to shrines or temples.

Japanese people make money offerings and pray for happiness and good health for the year. We also buy lucky charms and draw "omikuji" that tell a lot about our fortune in the new year.

I drew omikuji. It said that I'll have excellent luck (Japanese call it "大吉 daikichi")!
I hope that something good will happen.


おめでとう。エいごはうまい！
I rephrased some sentences to make them sound more natural. Everything made sense, though!

I drew omikuji. It said that I'll have excellent luck (Japanese call it "大吉 daikichi")! ( I would write: The omikuji that I drew said I would have excellent luck.)
I hope that something good will be happening. (will happen is better)
