💡 Tips for Visitors

Cash is required for offerings and purchasing amulets, as card payments are typically not accepted at smaller shrines. Basic shrine etiquette includes bowing before passing through the torii gate, purifying your hands and mouth at the water basin, and bowing twice, clapping twice, then bowing once when praying at the main hall. Early morning visits offer the most serene experience and best photo opportunities with fewer crowds.
