Senkosan Seichoji Temple New Year's Eve Bell Ringing

About this event

At Senkosan Seichoji Temple, the Joya no Kane (New Year's Eve bell) will be struck on the night of New Year's Eve. It will be held starting from 23:20 on December 31, 2026. Along with the 108 tolls of the bell, worldly desires are purged to welcome the new year. Seichoji Temple is also known as a historic site associated with Saint Nichiren, the founder of Nichiren Buddhism, who trained here. Ringing the New Year's Eve bell is an ancient Japanese year-end tradition visited by many worshippers. While listening to the sound of the bell echoing through the serene night and making wishes for the new year, you can spend a solemn moment.
