@hics_okinawan_len: Simple shrine manners for your first Hatsumode in Japan. Walk with respect, follow the steps, and enjoy a peaceful start to the new year. Save this for your visit ⛩️✨ Addition: The captions in the video were incorrect. Here is the correct order: I’ve also left all the steps in the comments, so please check them out. 3️⃣Go to the purification fountain - Wash your left hand - Wash your right hand - Pour water into your left hand and rinse your mouth - Wash your left hand again and rinse the ladle handle #Hatsumode #ShrineEtiquette #JapanTravelTips #VisitJapan #JapaneseCulture
Also, if you're enter on the left side, step in with your left foot first; if on the right, step in with your right foot first

Guys you can fudge the water in mouth part. If you watch the Japanese people a lot of them do it too. That part has been relaxed a lot in the years following covid

Is this just a general respect thing or is it religious. Id love to visit japan one day and im all about being respectful, not about bowing to another god though..
