In Japan, most people celebrate the new years by visiting a local shrine or temple for Hatsumode (初詣,) the first visit of the year.
Popular temples, like Kamigamo Shrine pictured here, can get over a million visitors over the first days of the new year!
And with that, another year comes to a close.
Our sincerest thanks to everyone who has stopped by our store, shopped with us online, and hung out with us on social media this year.
Here's to a lovely 2025!
Jyuubako, large multi-tiered bento boxes, are filled with osechi-ryori during the Japanese New Year.
