Baby’s first visit to the shrine

初宮詣

Babies are given to us by kami. On the seventh day of the seventh night, the baby is named, and the naming certificate is placed on the family altar. Although there are differences depending on the region, the first visit to the shrine is held after 30 days for boys and after 31 days for girls. Some people visit the shrine after the 100th day. We pray for the safe growth of the baby by receiving the power of kami. Prayers are accompanied by a birth certificate stating the child's name and date of birth, a good-luck charm, little drum for baby.
Fee for the pray: from 5,000 yen
We ask for a minimum contribution from 5,000 yen.
