June 30 is the end of the first half of the year. How fast time flies!
On this day at many shrines there is a special event called Nagoshi no ooharai (夏越の大祓い).
There is a big circle standing in front of the main building.. If you pass the circle for three times as if writing the number 8, you would be purified.
There are twice when you can experience this event, one is for June 30, and the other is for December 31.
