💡 Tips for Visitors

Most shrines in Japan are cash-only for donations and omamori (charms), so bring small coins. Early morning visits offer the most peaceful atmosphere and best lighting for photos. Basic shrine etiquette includes bowing before entering through the torii gate, purifying hands and mouth at the temizuya water basin, and bowing twice, clapping twice, then bowing once when praying at the main hall.
