One of the things that you would absolutely want to do in Japan, is to visit the beautiful Shinto shrines that have hundreds of years of history, right? However, I’ve received some messages about visiting shrines, that they are a little concerned about the rules there because it is a place related to Japanese religions.

So today, I will explain the 5 taboos related to visiting Shinto shrines in Japan. The taboos will get more and more important, and the most important message will be presented to you at the end, so I hope you can fully enjoy this video.

And before I start, I want to make it very clear that the purpose of this video is to reassure my fellow viewers who are a bit worried about possibly being rude, so that they can fully enjoy their trip in Japan.

It’s really NOT about…“You must always obey our rules! Otherwise I wi…(途中でぶちって切る笑)”
kind of thing. Please understand that many Japanese people make mistakes too, and that each shrine is deeply connected to the local community it belongs to, so detailed rules/manners are not always the same.

The management (filming, editing, etc.) of the new Asayama Ichiden Ryu's English Channel "Let's ask Seki Sensei" is completely my voluntary work. If I am not able to pay for the expensive bullet train fare from Kyoto to Ibaraki Prefecture (where the main Dojo is located), and hotel/filming expenses, this activity will cease. Please help us spread and preserve this 400-year-old martial art. In return, I will try my best to create the most educational and exciting content about Japanese Kobudo.
