What to expect

The first visit to the shrine or temple in the new year is called Hatsumode, and it attracts quite some crowds every year, and I think it is a great way to start a new year in Japanese-style. Fireworks are the standard celebrations in many cities in the world, but in Japan it is mostly a cultural setting at a temple like the one in Asakusa, Senso-ji Temple, where the year begins with offering prayers for a prosperous year ahead. Warm crowds in the cold night of December 31, this is a unique experience to spend the early morning time of the new year.

Hatsumode is a cherished Japanese tradition, the first shrine or temple visit of the Japanese New Year to pray for health, prosperity, and good fortune. At Senso-ji Temple, the oldest temple in Tokyo, this event draws massive crowds, with lines stretching all the way to Nakamise Street starting at midnight. Senso-ji is one of the most popular spots for hatsumode in Tokyo, attracting 2.5 to 3 million people each year during the New Year period, making it one of the most popular Hatsumode spots in Tokyo.

Expect a deeply cultural atmosphere rather than a party atmosphere. The temple grounds are illuminated, incense smoke fills the air from the large jokoro burner, and visitors toss coins, clap, and bow in prayer before the main hall. The focus is fulfillment of wishes, with people buying new omamori charms, hamaya arrows to ward off evil, and omikuji fortune slips for the coming year.

The Nakamise shopping street leading to the temple is decorated with New Year decorations, kadomatsu pine decorations, shimenawa ropes, and stalls offering seasonal souvenirs, amazake sweet sake, and warm snacks. Warm crowds in the cold night create a unique communal feeling as strangers huddle together waiting for their turn to pray.
