Visiting Shrine on the first day of the year

Hello everyone!
How was your 2021 new year’s day?
In Japan, It’s tradition to go to Shrine or temple during New year’s holiday.
People visit shrine and make a wish and thank to gods.
I went to Hibiya shrine which is just 5 minutes walk from Soshi’s Tokyo Bike Tour Shop.
I didn’t make a wish anything but I said thank you for the shrine because We use this shrine as a landmark to get to our office. If you check our access page on our website, you can find a picture of red gate shrine.
Walking around Shimbashi station is little bit tricky. Even Japanese people often get lost.
If you are not familiar with this area, please do not hesitate to check our access page on our website. That directly leads to Soshi’s Tokyo Bike Tour Shop.
If you see Red Gate Shrine, 5 minutes walk to our office!
