Hatsumoude
My family and I went to do "Hatumoude" at one of shrines in Okayama prefecture on Jan 2, which is very famous for worshiping "Momotaro" as the god. "Hatumoude" means we Japanese visit a first shrine on new year. We got there about one hour behind schedule due to heavy traffic even though we left two hours earlier than usual. There were plenty of people praying for their health and happiness this year as well. I managed to reach in front of the god to throw Osaisen (Osaisen means money dedicated to the God because my desire comes true) with me pushed by other people and prayed the god for our family's heath and happiness.
