Heading for temples in Kamakura after New Year
Most people will visit temple after New Year. First when entering temple, hands are washed, people line up for their turn. Some money is thrown in box. Before prayer some sounds is given - like ringing the bell or clapping hands. After making wish some slight bend.
At the end of video I added other ceremony, but I am not sure what is that and what is being performed.
Kamakura is perfect getaway from buzzes of Tokyo. During night all temples turn slightly different.
