In Japan, many people visit shrines and temples on New Year’s Day to pray for their health and safety during the year.

Eiheiji Temple was founded in the 13th century, but due to repeated fires, the present buildings were rebuilt in the modern and early modern periods. This “Sanmon” gate built in 1747 is the oldest of them all.

Eiheiji, the head temple of the Soto Zen Buddhism, is also a place where monks undergo training. Today, about 150 monks live here and are engaged in rigorous ascetic training day and night.
