Visit the historic Hamamatsu Goshajinja Shrine and Suwa Shrine for your first shrine visit of the year, combining it with a prayer for protection against misfortune!

This shrine was established in 1962 when the two original shrines were merged, creating the new Goshajinja Suwajinja. The current shrine building was completed in 1982, and the deities of both shrines are enshrined within a single building...

On New Year's Day night, it's "SUKIYAKI"! A taste comparison of two different brands of Kuroge Wagyu beef.
Every year, our family has made it a tradition to spend New Year's Day relaxing and taking it easy! We only prepare enough Osechi (traditional New Year's food) to eat in the morning, so for dinner we're looking forward to sukiyaki! Speaking of which, we happened to be talking about Kyu Sakamoto's famous song "Ue o Muite" (Looking Up)...

Furthermore, during the first three days of the New Year...
