About this event
A gathering to strike the Joya no Kane (New Year's Eve bell) will be held at Obi Castle. On New Year's Eve, the new year is welcomed alongside the sound of 108 bell rings. In this traditional event, visitors take turns striking the bell, warding off the year's bad luck and wishing for happiness in the new year. The sound of the bell starts at 23:40, and the new year is welcomed when all 108 rings conclude. On this special night, why not experience striking the New Year's Eve bell within the solemn atmosphere of Obi Castle? You can quietly welcome the new year with hope in your heart.
