Ori-ori Sanpai

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.
(After participating in the New year Morning Visit, you can continue with the Nichi-nichi Sanpai program. Please take your time.)
