💡 Tips for Visitors

Be prepared with cash as most shrines do not accept credit cards for offerings, omamori (charms), or ema purchases. Visit early morning for the most peaceful experience and to observe daily rituals performed by shrine priests. Remember to follow proper etiquette: bow before passing through the torii gate, purify your hands and mouth at the temizuya (water pavilion), and bow twice, clap twice, and bow once when offering prayers at the main hall.
