About this event
Hatsumode (first shrine visit of the New Year) at Mitsumine Shrine, situated 1,100 meters up in the mountains of Chichibu. Known for being protected by wolves rather than traditional guardian lion-dogs (komainu), the shrine features a distinctive main hall covered in vivid multicolored carvings and a unique triple-torii gate (Mitsu-torii). Many people visit seeking the sea of clouds and powerful spiritual energy. Visitors during the winter season should be mindful of frozen road surfaces. This New Year visit takes place from January 1 to January 3, 2027. Admission is free, and the venue is located at 298-1 Mitsumine, Chichibu City, Saitama Prefecture. Details regarding hours must be confirmed on the official website.
