Omizutori (お水取り), also known as Shunie
Time: March 1-14
Prefecture: Nara
Location: Todaiji Temple

With a history spanning over 1250 years, Omizutori is one of Japan's oldest recurring Buddhist events. These rituals take place at Nigatsudo Hall, a sub-temple of Todaiji, situated near the main hall of the temple on a hill. The term "Nigatsudo" translates to "second-month hall," aligning with the lunar calendar's second month, which corresponds to the solar calendar's March.
