First Shrine Visit 2012 at Zōjō-ji

Although I was at Sensō-ji at midnight for New Years, we did not join the queue to make our first shrine or temple visit of the year there.  For hatsumōde, we drove south to Zōjō-ji Temple at the base of Tokyo Tower.

By the time we got there after 1 a.m.  the crowd was already thinning, and we were able to join the queue and enter the shrine in about 15-minutes.
