Summer purification ceremony at shrine

June 30 is the end of first half of the year. Shrines hold purification ceremonies to get rid of impured things people got and hope to be in good health during the last half. You will find a big circle made of thatch in the shrine. Try passing through this magical circle in order to get purified!
