New Year Visiting Naritasan Temple
CCA Tour on January 9, 2005
		I went the New Year Visiting Temple tour held by Chiba Cycling Association with twelve 3rensho team members. We went the Naritasan Shinshoji Temple. There were thirty-four entries gathering from various parts of the Chiba Prefecture, and prayed for the safety tour this year. Fortunately. we had a rare chance that the chief priest lighted a holy fire and prayed for us in the main temple. There are 7.8 million worshipers a year at the Shinshoji Temple, but only 450 thousand can enter the main temple, and in January there are many worshipers in the year. We were guided to the Shinsyoji Temple by the expert guide Mr. Sakata of CCA member, and came to know well about it.
