Izumo Oyashiro 出雲大社 Malaysia @ Shah Alam, Selangor
Happy New Year 2024 !
In Japan, January 1 is the New Year and the beginning of the year.
Usually, families spend the day relaxing together, enjoying New Year's dishes “Osechi Ryori”, watching TV leisurely, and going to shrines for Hatsumode (New Year's visit to shrines).
Today, I went to Malaysia for Hatsumode.
Did you know that there is shrine where you can visit in Malaysia? Just like in Japan, you can visit, draw omikuji (paper fortune) and buy omamori (good luck charms) here.
Izumo Oyashiro Malaysia was established in March 2010 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
The original Izumo Oyashiro Shrine is located in Izumo City, Shimane Prefecture, and although the exact date of its origin is not known, it was already mentioned in Japanese mythology as early as the 700s (1300 years ago!). The deity is Okuninushi no Okami, who is said to be the creator of the country of Japan in Japanese mythology.
The shrine is located in the Saujana Villa condominium. You enter the shrine as if you were going to a friend's house, telling the guard house at the entrance where you are visiting.
We visited to shrine next to the entrance of the condominium. There is also a return box for old amulet, and it is nice to experience the feeling of going to a regular shrine in Malaysia.
Many Japanese people were there.
I wish everyone a wonderful year in 2024.
