Here is the precincts.
When you look upon a sky, many branches of the trees cut off our view !
These are holy trees.
Then, go straight forward you can see the main shrine.
“How do you feel ? Mysterious ?”
OK. Let’s go more closely.
”Could you read these Chinese characters？” ”Of course not”
We pronounce them like this,”OHGU daimyoujin”
“Daimyoujin” means common name of the God whom we call with respect.
And look at the big rope!
This is called “Shimenawa” which is a border and protects him from evils.
How to pray
Before praying, you should wash your hands and rinse out your mouse HERE !
Are you ready ?
At first you throw some coins into the box and bow two times ,then clap your hands twice
and pray for your happiness and peace of the world !
Easy things , aren’t they?
At dusk, it’s time to leave.
