As part of our usual new year routine, we visited Kawasaki Shrine (川崎大師). You should see the crowd... this is along the street leading to the shrine, and we had about another 500m more to go before reaching the shrine's entrance.
The main entrance to the shrine (finally!) and you can see the crowd queuing up to get inside.
The main hall itself, with lots of people waiting for their turn to go in and pray for their fortunes. To the sides, we drew lots to see what our fortune is for the year. My lot says that I will have very good luck this year. Let's hope it is true!
And once we are done praying, we move to the side of the temple grounds, where there were loads of food stalls selling all kinds of stuff, from alcohol to fried noodles to okonomiyaki. And of course, we just had to try some of the food... given the empty stomach after spending so much time in the queue.
