Japanese New Year’s Tradition and Culture | January 1, 2019 | Mitake Shinto Shrine Ome Tokyo Japan
Hatsumōde (初詣 hatsumōde) is the first Shinto shrine visit of the Japanese New Year. Some people visit a Buddhist temple instead. Many visit on the first, second, or third day of the year as most are off work on those days. Generally, wishes for the new year are made, new omamori (charms or amulets) are bought, and the old ones are returned to the shrine so they can be burned. There are often long lines at major shrines throughout Japan.
Most of the people in Japan are off work from December 29 until January 3 of every year. It is during this time that the house is cleaned, debts are paid, friends and family are visited and gifts are exchanged. It would be customary to spend the early morning of New Year's Day in domestic worship, followed by sake—often containing edible gold flakes—and special celebration food. During the hatsumōde, it is common for men to wear a full kimono—one of the rare chances to see them doing so across a year[citation needed]. The act of worship is generally quite brief and individual and may involve queuing at popular shrines. The o-mamori vary substantially in price.
Some shrines and temples have millions of visitors over the three days. Meiji Shrine for example had 3.45 million visitors in 1998, and in the first three days of January 2010, 3.2 million people visited Meiji Jingū, 2.98 million Narita-san, 2.96 million Kawasaki Daishi, 2.7 million Fushimi Inari-taisha, and 2.6 million Sumiyoshi Taisha.[1][2] Other popular destinations include Atsuta Jingū, Tsurugaoka Hachimangū, Dazaifu Tenman-gū, and Hikawa Shrine.[3]
A common custom during hatsumōde is to buy a written oracle called omikuji. If your omikuji predicts bad luck you can tie it onto a tree on the shrine grounds, in the hope that its prediction will not come true. The omikuji goes into detail, and tells you how you will do in various areas in your life, such as business and love, for that year. Often a good-luck charm comes with the omikuji when you buy it, that is believed to summon good luck and money your way.

Discover Japan:Virtual Trip To Mt.Mitake (御岳山 Mitake-san)
Mount Mitake (御岳山 Mitake-san?) is a mountain in the Chichibu Tama Kai National Park near Tokyo, Japan. It stands 929 m (3,048 ft) tall. On the mountain is a Shinto shrine.
It is one of the many highlights of the Chichibu Tama Kai National Park, which covers more than 1,250 km2 (483 sq mi) of forested mountains, hills, gorges and some rural towns in the prefectures of Yamanashi, Saitama, Nagano and Tokyo.
The trip from Tokyo's Shinjuku Station to Mitake Station on the Ōme Line takes about 95 minutes.
A shuttle bus, located 50 meters to the left of Mitake Station, travels to Takimoto village every half hour between 07:30 to 18:00. From Takimoto village, the Mitake-Tozan Railway cable car operates every half hour between 07:30 to 18:30 and leads to Mitakesan village at its top. Mitake summit and the Musashi-Mitake Shrine (武蔵御嶽神社 Musashi Mitake Jinja?) can then be reached by trail—approximately 1000 meters.
Many hikers access the mountain via Kori Station (two stops past Mitake Station from Ome). There is a hiking trail that takes approximately two and half hours to reach the summit, which passes Otsukayama (920 metres).
There is also a festival every year on May 8.
2015.10.29 Oume(青梅), Japan(日本) (Part 2)
Part 2 of the hike up Mount Mitake in Japan. We are still in Tokyo (東京) prefecture and the Kanto (関東) area. As said in the previous episode; in the morning we woke up early to get to Mount Mitake (御岳山), where we can do a little hiking. This is one of the day trips that you can take from Tokyo, and is about a 45 minute train ride from Shinjuku (新宿). Getting to the mountain is pretty much where the previous movie ends.We continue onto the Nanayo Falls (七代の滝) via the Mount Mitake Shrine. Unfortunately, we were unable to see Tokyo from the top of the mountain because of the clouds/fog, but it was still a beautiful area. Finally, we descended via the Mitake Tozen Railway Cable Car (御岳登山鉄道). When we got back into Tokyo city, we had some sushi at a place introduced to us by Vloggers: Kyde & Eric (link below).

Usa Jingu: One Of Japan's Most Revered Shrines
Usa Jingū (宇佐神宮), also known as Usa Hachimangū (宇佐八幡宮), is a Shinto shrine in the city of Usa in Ōita Prefecture in Japan. Emperor Ojin, who was deified as Hachiman-jin (the tutelary god of warriors), is said to be enshrined in all the sites dedicated to him; and the first and earliest of these was at Usa in the early 8th century. The Usa Jingū has long been the recipient of Imperial patronage; and its prestige is considered second only to that of Ise. The shrine was founded in Kyushu during the Nara period. Ancient records place the foundation of Usa Jingū in the Wadō era (708-714). A temple called Miroku-ji was built next to it in 779, making it what is believed to be the first shrine-temple (jingū-ji) ever. (source, Wikipedia)

Tokyo to Kawagoe via Ome cycling
RCC ride with my buddy Saito san to Kawagoe. Normally we would ride up along the Arakawa river cycling course but wanted to avoid the crowds.
This ride’s route left Nerima station along Senkawa-dori onto ShinOme-Kaido our to Yokota Airbase. A Tokyo barista had recommended a cafe called Word Coffee. Lovely couple that lived on the Gold Coast ran it and served delicious carrot cake and a great flat white.
Wahoo ELEMNT plotted a route along a road parallel to the railway tracks all the way to Ome so avoided traffic and stop lights.
From Ome there is a short but steep road over the hill through a tunnel that leads to a long downhill road towards Hanno. We took the Iruma route with intention of joining the Iruma-Sayama cycling road, it the place was packed! Turns out it was the day of an air show, and smart golf came to the river for a better viewing as near the airbase was chaos. Thanks to this we left the cycling route, braved route 16, then ducked onto Iruma-Kaido into Kawagoe.
Goal was the bell tower and a soy sauce shop that does a ride, egg & miso set and a famous soy sauce ice cream. Bike bag and train back, saw a total of @ 78km for the day.

Mount Mitake -Tokyo - 御岳山 - 4K Ultra HD
Overlooking Mitake village and its gorge, Mt Mitake hosts on its top (929m) ryokan, houses and the beautiful Musashi Mitake Shrine. According to legend, the Musashi temple was erected over 2000 years ago, and features some gorgeous stone statues of Inari Wolf. Still according to the legend, it is said that Prince Yamato Takeru, the son of Japan’s 12th Emperor got lost in the forest of Mt Mitake after a demon transformed himself into a wild stag and led the Prince off a path. Lost and cold, the Prince was led to safety by a giant White Wolf. It is only after the prince went back home that he decided to proclaim the wolf as a deity and official guardian and protector of Mount Mitake.
Français
Dominant le village de Mitake et ses gorges, le Mont Mitake (929m) abrite en son sommet non seulement quelques ryokans et des maisons, mais aussi le magnifique sanctuaire Musashi Mitake. D’après la légende, le temple Musashi fut érigé il y a plus de 2000 ans, et possède quelques statues de pierre d’Inrai Wolf. le prince Yamato Takeru, fils du 12ème empereur du Japon, se serait perdu dans la forêt du Mont Mitake après qu’un démon l’eut transformé en cerf sauvage puis l’abandonna hors de son chemin. Perdu et affaibli par le froid, le prince fut guidé par un loup blanc géant. Une fois rentré chez lui, le prince décida de faire du loup une divinité et le gardien protecteur officiel du Mont Mitake.
