New Year is a special time in Japan with many unique traditions. There are special postcards and special foods, visits to shrines and temples, and even special trains. In this episode, see the "Hatsumode Train" operated by Kintetsu Railway which runs from Nagoya to the famous Ise Jingu Shrine in Mie Prefecture so passengers can give a first prayer of the year, and the "First Sunrise Train" operated by Sanriku Railway in Iwate Prefecture. From this special train, passengers can see the very first sunrise of the New Year over the Pacific Ocean. |
