My first shrine visit of the new year.

Most beautiful shinto shrine in my place. And this shrine has more than 2000years history. But there is no one even today is new year day.

Only few people knows about this shrine. Even on Google map we can’t find where this shrine is….

Every year I come to here for new year wishing. And everytime I see the rainbow over the gate.
