About this event
Kyujoji, an ancient temple of the Nichiren sect celebrating 680 years since its founding, will hold its New Year Hatsumode and Joya no Kane (New Year's Eve Bell Ringing) with gratitude for the past year and wishes for the new year. A commemorative card will be presented to those who ring the bell from numbers 1 to 108, and hamaya (demon-breaking arrows) will also be gifted in limited quantities. All visiting worshipers are welcome to strike the temple bell. The event is scheduled to take place with infection prevention measures in place on the day. Please note that admission may be refused if you do not cooperate with the infection prevention measures.
