2011 was in the past and I was already in 2012. On top of that, I was blessed to be in my
favourite holiday destination – Japan.
After such a nice day
in the mountains and amazing food the first year of the year was going to be a
truly religious experience. I went with my friend to give the first pray of the
year in 2012. According to the tradition
we went to the most important shrine in Kurashiki called Achi-Jinja or 阿智神社 located
on the top of a hill called
Tsurugatayama or 鶴形山.
This hill is located
right in the middle of the cultural and touristic area called Bikan. Bikan due
to its beauty and proper has been used in many movies and series that are
uncommon on this side of the world.
