Yes, but it means that individuals have to adjust the schedules of the participants and ceremony.
On the one hand you can save money, but you'll have to handle everything on your own.
Is it okay to buy what I need for the ceremony by searching on the internet?
Of course it's okay but you have to be careful as the customs are different by area.
It's important to know the culture by asking the shrine.
It's also important to have a meeting with the priest, isn't it?
Yes, you have to decide the preparations for the Jichinsai on the day.

Is it possible for only the owner and the family to hold the ground-breaking ceremony?
You mean that you'll hold the ceremony on your own without asking the priest to do, right?
Right, if it's possible, could you tell me how?
You prepare rice, sake, salt, and water, then the owner and the family offer those to four corners of the land together.
Then you report on the building and pray for the safety of construction to the gods.
I see, so we can hold the ceremony on our own.
But please make sure to visit and pray to the guardian after you've finished the ceremony.
Yes, I will visit and pray to the guardian.
Jichinsai is originally to ask the permission for building and to pray for the safety of construction.
As long as there's no good reason, you should have the priest pray and hold the ceremony.
