Minatogawa Shrine New Year Charms (Japan Daily Photo)
I took the picture yesterday when we went to the Minatogawa Shrine (Kobe station, Kobe) to take our new New Year Charms and to leave our Old Year one. We tried to visit the Shrine already on 1st of January but the crowds were enormous. Actually I bought one of the big arrows with the wooden plate with mother tiger and two little cups on it.
