First Shrine Visit on New Year
I went to Miyajima for Hatsumode on January 3rd. There were many passengers on the ferry, some of them tourists wearing furisode. When I entered Itsukushima Shrine, there were even more tourists. It was a pity that the torii gate was still under construction. I drew a fortune, but the result was not so good. There were many food stalls there and I ate oysters. The oysters were olive flavored and very tasty. I bought some lemon cookies as a souvenir, which were very well received.
