Hatsu moude at Usa-jingu Shrine

Hello.
This is May in Japan.

I visited Usa-jingu Shrine on the first shrine visit of the New Year, on January 3.


Usa-jingu Shrine is the head shrine of all Hachiman shrines, and it located in Usa City, Oita Prefecture.
Many people come for a New Year's visit to Usa-jingu Shrine, because it is a very famous shinto shrine.
Usa-jingu Shrine received many worshippers and tourists on that day.


The main shrine stands on a slightly high hill after passing through this torii.


This is the main shrine.
The manner of prayer is "Twice bowing, four times clapping and one-time bowing."
The steps and manners may differ depending on shrines.

Usa-jingu Shrine has the very large precincts.
Usa-jingu Shrine is the holy place and it has a long history.

It is a very interesting place, please come once !!
