Happy New Year 2026

Prayer Hall of Shizuoka Sengen Jinja as of January 2nd. Covered by protection sheets so nobody can see inside at the moment.

Yes indeed. The prayer site of Shizuoka Sengen Shrine has been under construction because of the Heisei&Reiwa-era Restoration!

So many visitors were clinging and cleaving to the site even though it was completely covered. To me, the scenery was weird and comical. At the same time, however, I was thinking about myself. Do I have to have an under construction period? Is now the time for my restoration?
