Tadotaisya in Kuwana

In Japan in the beginning of the year, they are going to the shrine to pray for the whole year. They call this hastumoude (�詣).
For my hastumoude, I went to the tadotaisya(多度大社) in Kuwana (æ¡‘å??).

At the festival, the people ride the horse goes up a slight slope at a high speed. If it succeed, fortune of this year is good. People go to there to pray a good year. And the horse is one of the gods in there.
