Episode 7 - 00:00
It was New Year's Eve.
Kiyo and Sumire received holy sparks from the Yasaka Shrine (八坂神社) and took them home.
It is said that if you eat OZONI(お雑煮), a Japanese New Year's dish made from the fire source given to you from the Yasaka Shrine, you will be able to pass the year safely. It's called Wokeramairi. (をけら詣り)
There are so many traditional and seasonal events only in Kyoto. Wokeramairi is one of them.
Kiyo and Sumire wore HANTEN(半纏), a traditional Japanese coat.
Episode 7 - 02:10
Kiyo and Sumire listened to the New Year's Eve Bell, Joya-no-Kane(除夜の鐘)
Joya-no-Kane is the ringing of temple bells around midnight on December 31st. To ward off evil spirits of the passing year and to welcome the New Year. At many temples, the monks hit 108 times. It is said that 108 means the number of Kleshas.
Kiyo and Sumire tried to count to 108, but they gave up.
There are so many temples in Kyoto that we can hear a lot of bells ringing around midnight on New Year's Eve.
The Chionin temple is well-known for its vast Joya-no-Kane.
I was there and could feel the sound reverberate throughout my body.
At some temples, worshipers can also hit the Joya-no-Kane.
If you want to hit any temple bell in Kyoto, please visit Shorenin temple. (青蓮院)
You can hit the bell on any date.

Kiyo and Sumire opened FUKUDAMA（福玉）
It's a New Year present to Maiko-san from fans. Popular Maiko-san receives a lot of FUKUDAMA.
I assume Chiyo gave it to Kiyo and Sumire because Chiyo feels sorry that Kiyo and Sumire did not go back to their hometown, Aomori, on New Year's Day.
FUKUDAMA is a unique culture that is only in Kyoto.
