At the beginning of the year, selected girls from all over Japan got to become a Yuki Musume [幸娘] or "Fortune Girl" where they performed a spiritual cleansing ceremony at Keta Taisha shrine in the Ishikawa Prefecture.

<strong>巫女</strong>
『石川県羽咋市にある気多大社（けたたいしゃ）は、能登国一宮であり、最近では縁結びの神様として全国に名を馳せつつあります。
この神社では、毎年正月三が日に、幸娘（ゆきむすめ）という巫女を全国から一般募集します。そして、選び抜かれた女性たちは、大晦日に禊祓い（みそぎばらい）を行い、晴れて幸娘になることができるのです。』
