When a person reaches the age of adulthood, they visit a Shinto Shrine and show appreciation for their growth. Then the individual who has joined the ranks of adults is reported to the Kami-sama. The now adult man or woman gives gratitude to their parents and/or the people around them who helped raise them. As a new member of society, they vow to contribute to society and they pray for divine protection.

The ceremony has a minimum donation of $100 plus shipping where applicable and includes one Omamori.

The Hatsumiya Mairi, or Omiyamairi, is the first shrine visit of a child. Around a month after a baby’s birth, the parents and grandparents come to the Shrine together and show their gratitude for a safe delivery and to celebrate and pray for the child’s health and growth. 

Jūsan Mairi is a celebration for those who are 13 years of age. Historically, this was the age at which children came of age and when they were allowed to wear a Haori (overcoat). Following the traditional lunar calendar, the Shrine visit for Jūsan Mairi is made between about March 13th and May 13th in the Gregorian calendar. Shrine visitors pray for good fortune and the healthy growth of those being celebrated.
