Ori-ori Sanpai
New Year Morning Visit (2025)
The year's plans are made on New Year's Day.
In the main hall, you will listen to five bells and meditate on the sound of the bells, and then entrust your aspirations to the memorial tree and make an offering with your wishes in mind.
Let's start the year with a clear mind and a pure heart by viewing the garden in the clear new spring.
Receive an explanation of Saihoji Temple before a short meditation session in the main hall, and fill out and dedicate a memorial wood-stick, followed by free walking around the garden.
