Hatsumōde (初詣) is the first Shinto shrine visit of the Japanese New Year (starting on 1st January).
Although most people visit on the first, second, or third day of the year (as most are off work on those days), typically, we visit our local shrine a couple of minutes after midnight on 1st January - just as the new year is starting.
Prayers are made for the year ahead. New Omamori (charms or amulets) are bought, and the old ones are returned to the shrine so they can be burned.
A common custom during is buying a written prediction called Omikuji. If your omikuji predicts bad luck you can tie it onto a tree on the shrine grounds, to minimise any bad luck.
Here's what happens at each step during this film:

1:02 - Behind the Tōrō to the right is the Chōzuya - where you purify yourself by washing your hands before entering the shrine (we did this but I did not film it)

4:53 - Omikuji are predictions for the year ahead.
5:25 - Tying the omikuji to a tree or frame is thought to minimise any bad luck in the prediction

This Ashiya River in Ashiya. t's a very beautiful and exclusive area. This is a river flowing to the ocean. This is accessible from the JR Ashiya Station. You will have to walk to the west I believe. When you exit the main entrance of the department store it's in turn left and keep straight. You will run into it.
