GPS art of a snake, drawn at a Hatsumode spot in Shiga Prefecture🐍✨
This GPS art course takes visitors to the area around Taga Taisha, a famous Hatsumode (New Year’s visit) spot in Shiga Prefecture, where you can draw a snake, the animal of the Chinese zodiac.
Taga Taisha Shrine, located in Taga Town, Shiga Prefecture, has long been known as “Otaga-san” and was worshipped as “Taga-daimyojin” during the medieval period when Shintoism and Buddhism were practiced together. There is a custom called “Otaga Shakushi,” in which a shamoji is given as a good-luck charm, and this is said to be the origin of the name “Otama Shakushi” or “tadpole.
