Nagoya Shrine Shinto Culture Experience

A Special Experience Starting with Shinto Priest and Shrine Maiden Attire

Begin your experience at the shrine with a talk about Japanese Shinto culture. Participants will wear traditional Shinto priest or shrine maiden outfits and learn the basic etiquette and rituals to be observed at shrines. Unlike a typical shrine visit, you can experience Shinto culture and its significance more closely by wearing traditional attire yourself.


Shinto Rituals Experienced in a Sacred Space

After learning the proper way to worship and the etiquette at shrines, you'll engage in a deeper experience than a typical shrine tour. Enter areas usually accessible only to shrine staff and participate in a formal prayer ceremony in a solemn atmosphere.

Listen to the shrine staff's explanations to understand the meaning behind each ritual and learn more about Japanese Shinto culture. The appeal lies not just in trying on the costumes, but in truly understanding the shrine's culture and traditions.


Goshuin Creation & Traditional Costume Photoshoot

During the experience, you'll have time to create your own goshuin (御朱印). Leave a special travel memory by experiencing the goshuin unique to Japanese shrine culture.

Finally, you can capture memories by taking photos in your Shinto priest or shrine maiden attire. Conclude your cultural experience in Nagoya by capturing special moments amidst the traditional shrine atmosphere.
