💡 Tips for Visitors

Cash only for offerings and amulet purchases, so bring small bills and coins. Visit early morning for the most peaceful experience and to potentially witness daily rituals. Basic shrine etiquette: bow before entering through torii gates, purify hands and mouth at the temizuya (water basin), and bow twice, clap twice, then bow once when praying at the main hall.
