大晦日の夜は、村の氏神様の境内でかがり火をたき、御神酒をいただき新年を迎えます。
11時ごろから住民が集まって、年越しの挨拶など歓談しながら新年を待ちます。
12時きっかりに皆で氏神様に遥拝。とてもあたたかでなごやかな年越しの儀式でした。
皆様旧年中は本当にありがとうございました。
On new year's eve, villagers here get together at the small shrine and surround the bon fire. We talk with sacred sake in hands and wait for the new year.
At 24:00, everybody pray in front of the shrine.
It was a very peaceful and happy experience for me.
To all the people and everything around me, thank you so much for being with me last year.
