Hatsumode (first shrine visit) — the tradition

Japanese people visit a shrine or temple in the first 3 days to pray for the year ahead. The most popular shrines get 3+ million visitors in 3 days. If you want the atmosphere, pick a mid-tier shrine (5-15 min wait) not the mega ones (2-4 hour waits).
