Each year on December 31^st at 23:30, the monks of Seichoji Temple splash their bare skin with water and chant in prayer as they preform the “Mizugyo Ritual.”

Following the ritual at 23:40, the temple bell is rung 108 times to welcome the New Year.

The bell at Tanjoji Temple, a 1-minute walk from our accommodations, begins ringing at 23:30.

During New Year’s Eve, temple bells can be heard ringing across Japan. Don’t miss out on the many special events held this time of year.
