A Custom

We had usually, even when the American family came to visit, gone to the shrine (SENGEN Jinja) for NEW YEARS. We missed the beginning of 2021; blame it on the pandemic. The shrine is for the Shinto religion in Japan which is older than Japanese Buddhism. It is only the local custom, we remain Baptist.

See the tigers.

We pass through Johoku Park, and it is sited well
for a view of Mount Fuji on a clear day.
