Izumo Taisha is one of the major Shinto Shrines which has about 300 branch shrines in Japan and their headquarters is located in Izumo city, Shimane Prefecture. The history of Izumo Taisha is as old as Japanese myth and their original remains can be traced back to the 3rd century. This Hawaii branch was established in 1906 when many immigrants from Japan came to work for Sugar plantations. Since then it has served both local communities and people and now many tourists from Japan too visit this shrine, especially for new year blessings. There are many kinds of Omanori (good luck charm) available here.

I visit the Izumo Taisho temple annually, to be blessed for the New Year. I arrive around 1 am and the crowd is manageable. During the New Year celebrations is probably not the most convenient due to the limited parking and large crowds of people..Just plan to be patient and the waiting time. But in true Hawaii fashion, you’ll probably know someone standing in line. Despite this I attend this temple because this was my grandmother’s and attempting to keep with tradition since she has passed on. There’s a process...wash your hands, stand in line, place money (coins) into the wooden box, ring the bell, bow twice, clap your hands four times then bow again. The priest will waive white streams of paper over your head and chant words of blessings and protection. You are now blessed for the new year. Following this there are Omamori’s or Personal good luck charms for purchase. The money from these purchases assist the church. Happy New Year!
