Happy New Year!

In Japan, the new year is a Big Deal (much bigger than Christmas!), and one of the big things to do for the new year is to visit Shrines and Temples. There are festivals, and midnight bell ringing, and rituals, and it's really quite amazing. You can get all sorts of lucky amulets for the new year, and get little fortunes- while a lot of this is also year round, it's especially auspicious at the turn of the year to set the tone for the next! This upcoming year of 2025 is the Year of the Snake, so you will find a snake theme running through many of the places you can visit.

In SL, the Goshuin Project is doing an event for the New Year, organizing a list of Shrines and Temples that are distributing Goshuin, the auspicious red seals, that commemorate your visit.

Things to know: I'm obsessed with Goshuin, in RL and SL. It feeds into more than one of my impulses. I almost missed my plane home getting one and no I'm not joking. There are 46 official locations in the event! You do not have to get them all! There's no reward for completing everything, other than getting to see them all and having so many goshuin. I have to get them all. But you don't. Some of these locations will only be open for a very short window! Some will close the 5th (Japan time, so practically the 4th SLT), which is a traditional time for some new year celebrations to wind down. Others will close the 15th (14th), another time for new year celebrations to wind down. Others will be around for at least the entire month, and still more are permanent locations. Some even have new goshuin every month of the year! There are more places in SL that have goshuin, that are not on the list! I will add those that I find.

01 Warbunton Shrine 倭文沌神社:

Warbunton Shrine is maintained by the organizer of the Goshuin Project, sakka Flow. You have no idea how much I love that she decided to do this (it's a lot). Warbunton Shrine is open all year, and has special Goshuin for the new year and summer, as well as seasonal goshuin every single month. The Shrine environs also change for the seasons, with new plants and decorations as appropriate. The Shrine grounds have expanded a bit recently so there is a little more to visit.

Warbunton is a Hamster Shrine, that enshrines a hamster god, on the eastern end of the GAETA V continent of mainland, and can be reached by Saitama Metro on the Maya Line, M01 Gaeta East Beach station. I also love the Saitama Metro- public transportation, good public transportation, is amazing and super convenient. And there are lots of interesting places you can find along the three lines of the Saitama Metro!
