Boydoin has 1000year's history.<br />And there is also many images of Budda. This temple is also resistered in World Heritage.<br />Byodoin is located Uji city in Kyoto. But maybe...many foreign tourists don't go because<br />here is away from center of Kyoto. If you stay in Japan for long,for example studying in Japan etc,<br />going Uji is also good for relaxing. Calm and nice place... http://japankorea.blogspirit.com/archive/2006/01/08/happy-new-year-2006.html Happy New Year 2006 http://japankorea.blogspirit.com/archive/2006/01/08/happy-new-year-2006.html noreply@blogspirit.com (HR) Japanese tradition Sun, 08 Jan 2006 03:35:00 +0100 <div style="text-align: left"><img src="http://japankorea.blogspirit.com/images/medium_img_0007.3.jpg" alt="" style="border-width: 0; margin: 0.7em 0;" /></div><br />Hi, everyone. My name is HR. I'm Japanese who studies in Korea now.<br />I start this blog for the people worldwide to know beautiful countried, Japan and Korea.<br />In Japan, we go to shrine on new year's day. It is for praying for a year. In ancient times<br />every nature things can be a god in Japan. So we called '800 millions gods'. Shrine is also<br />the religious place, but nowadays we go not by religious meaning, but just for praying<br />or making our mind 'empty'. The shirine on the photo is 'Kashihara Jingu shrine'.<br />It is said this one enshrines the first emperor in Japan. About 0.8 million people visit<br />this shirine on only 3 new year days.<br />Yes, I hope you enjoy this blog even if I'm poor at English.<br />2006, Have a wonderful year!
