夏だ！花火だ！BOW祭り

Hi ! I’m Shrine Concierge, Ayumi

I’ve just started my blog on cool Japanese shrines.

When making a new start, it is recommended we visit “Kashima Jingu”.

Passing through a “Torii Gate” means you are entering a sacred space.

We should bow once before entering a Tori Gate.

It is also believed the center of a path is one for “Kamisama”.

-Japanese gods and goddesses-, so please give way to “Kamisama”.

Upon visiting a shrine:

Wash your hands and mouth to purify you before praying.

↑　It’s called “Temizuya” or “Chozuya”.

Take a ladle in your right hand and scoop enough water. First pour over your left hand, then your right hand using a ladle. and transfer a ladle again to the right hand further to rinse your mouth with your cupped left hand. DO NOT rinse your mouth directly from a ladle. Lastly rinse the handle of a ladle with remaining water.

Proceed to the alter (the main building of a shrine).

Shake the rope to ring the bell.

Bow twice deeply in front of the altar (the main building of a shrine).

Put money into the offering box, GENTLY. DO NOT throw them.

Make your wish in your heart.

Clap your hands twice.

Bow once deeply.

This is a common procedure but it depends on a shrine.

Kashima Jingu, Ibaraki

Deers welcome you

Kashima Jingu covers a fairly large area. It is, indeed.

There are many big trees in the precinct of the shrine and

the atmosphere is so serene.

the main building of the shrine

the main building of the shrine taken from a different angle

the pathway gets to the “Okunomiya” (or “Okumiya”) shrine.

“Okunomiya” here was once used as the main building of the shrine,

but when a new shrine was built, the old one was moved to the current location.

The pathway is surrounded by woods with wonderfully clean air.

Just feel it

“Kanameishi” (a spirit rock) is buried deeply in here.

It is believed that “Kanameishi” holds down a big catfish

causing earthquakes. ↑　　↓

“Kamisama” -Japanese gods and goddesses- here (Kashima Jingu)　is well known as one of martial arts or sword.

Mitarai Ike (Ike = pond) 400,00 litre of spring water daily comes out.

Thank you for visiting.

See you
