Visiting a shinto shrine (how to pray, what to do) 明治神宮で初詣☆

- Explore the culture of Japanese shrine visits with me as I go on my first-ever Hatsumōde (初詣) - the first shrine visit of the new year, to Meiji Shrine in Tokyo.
I learned how to wash my hands at the Temizuya (water basin area), how to pray (bowing, clapping), and all of the other things to do when visiting a shrine such as buying good luck charms and writing on the ema (wooden plaque for wish-making).

As an Indian I can easily connect with the Shinto Shrine culture and prayers and traditions
Japan is an amazing nation and an inspiration to the World
Thank you guys for the wonderful comments! Glad you enjoyed exploring Meiji Shrine with me :) I learned a lot as well!
Thanks
hi
Japanagos（ジャパナゴス） Can you visit these shrines whenever you want? or does it have to be some sort of special occasion?
+mollie turner for what I know you can do it anytime you want!
+Japanagos（ジャパナゴス） Feeling Blessed Greeting from India ,god bless you :-)
i love this video! i am not Japanese but when i was in Japan i felt a strong connection with the Shinto religion.
That is false religion. It cannot save your soul or even give you true peace of the heart! Because it is not life, but death. You are to know your Creator, the One who made you. He knows what is good for you and if you obey Him, He will give you true peace in your heart. Do you know Who is your Creator?

@@agnrciag don't be a nutjob, be tolerant to other people, thanks
@@agnrciag I respect you and your religion but it does not mean what do you say to others is right you can not wish harm on others and their religion
@@stoptheasianhate1265 the truth is only one. I don't want people to live a lie and at the end of their life to go to hell because there is no way out of there. I love people and I wish they would choose true life and the only truth.
@@agnrciag sir I respect you and where you are coming from but please as another human being from another let people live their lives as they want to I really hope you have a good night goodbye
I'm always so sad in the best way possible when these videos end. It's so interesting learning about this culture. It's an entirely new world it feels like and I really want to experience it for myself one day!
It’s been 6 years now, have you had the chance to go to Japan yet? I hope you do get to :)
I have dreamed of visiting Japan all my life. I am not a religious person at all, but I want to visit as many Shinto Shrines as possible. I'm sure I would get very... emotionnal at a shrine. Just from the videos I've seen, there seem to be something so... serene and peaceful in these places. This is something I need right now. Modern life is too fast...
I visited these shrines.
That is the most understandable video telling non-japanese the way to visit a shrine i've ever watched. By the way, with who did you record that video? I've thought you take a record on your own but sometime I can see your whole.
I had a friend from work come with me :)
Japan is so full of many traditions. The culture and rituals are so beautiful. Thank you for sharing.this. If I ever, or should I say "when", I go to Japan, I will make it a point to visit the shrines. I just wonder how a Christian would be accepted in a Shinto shrine. Then again, I'm sure the Japanese are used to seeing foreigners with their cameras wondering around everywhere.
No matter what kind of religion you believe, you are welcomed as long as you behave and are respectful.
Only some Koreans are not welcomed because thay often steal statures from temples, do graffiti, and even set fire to shrines.
+TEXJAPCOWBOY1 it's done by korean nationalists who hate Japan because of their history. but normal korean people don't act like that.
Shinto isn't a religion, it is moreso a spiritual practice/a culture. Most people that practice Shintoism actually would say Buddhism is their religion. There is no religious affliction with Shinto, one of the many great things about it 😊
We watched many youtube videos today about Japan and my 10 year old son said "This was the best video about Japan we watched today" when we finished this one... so your wish came true!
We’re learning about Japan and my test is tomorrow. I am FREAKING out. This video helps so much. So easy to understand too.
Your whish back in 2014 came true, your videos do make people happy. I love learning something new and you videos are of great help.
My history teacher has been showing us your videos! I really like them ❤️
This was very educational for me. I've been researching proper etiquette in Japan for my travel next year, because i want to visit my first shrine and wanted to pray and be respectful. Thank you
what a great video! I wish I had had someone like you with me while I was stationed in Japan to help me understand what I was seeing and experiencing. I would have appreciated it so much more.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful experience. Very illuminating subject.

I just went there last week! Amazing place walking in from Yoyogi and I managed to see a traditional wedding held there.
Now I know the customs, I will be sure to follow them the next time I visit Meiji Jingu.
I really like your channel! It's really cool to learn so many different things about Japan. Looking forward to more videos!
Hi,
I've just come across your channel and think its great. My wife and I have visited Japan twice after hosting many Japanese students in Australia. Such a beautiful country with fantastic people. I will spend many hours watching your vids and giving me ideas and explanations. Thankyou so much

What a beautiful place,and lovely traditions ⛩️ I like the custom of writing on the little wooden plaques.
I'm soo happy i found your channel! and Finally!! i've seen soo many youtubers showing the shrines but never really explaining anything!
Wonderful explanation! Thank you, Chika!
Thank you for the info! I'm trying to learn more about Shinto and Japanese culture so this was very helpful!
This is beautiful.
everything about Shinto is beautiful and pure.
You look so pretty in your kimono! :3

リスニング教材として毎回聞いてます！

For your wish, I just want to say you do make me happy with your videos! Thank you for making such helpful videos :)
Not only you're one of the most subtly adorable persons I've ever heard and seen, your channel is like a Heaven's Gaze to me.
Thank you.
Your channel seriously inspires me to work hard at my Japanese language as I hope to live in your beautiful country some day. I would like to say thank-you! So many treasured traditions, I am very envious of you and your cultural experiences!
ikr? being from a country without a culture myself I envy their dedication to tradition
Thank you very much for sharing this beautiful video :) I really really want to visit Japan, and this shrine is now a must-visit on my list :) I was feeling so much positive energy even just watching the video, I can imagine how calm and positive it would be to actually be there. Lots of Love to you ♥
Thank you for sharing, chika
Thank you for the video! It was informative and well documented. Have a happy new year!
この着物が可愛いと当時思ってまた見に来ました！！
This was awesome, and beautiful!
Meiji Jingu was undoubtedly my favorite part of visiting Tokyo and my fondest memory of Japan thus far. If Tokyo was a desert Meiji Jingu would be it's oasis, it's a magical place! 全然諦めないチカ！
The kimono looks great on you:-) I enjoyed this video, thanks!
Your videos are really good for listening!
Actually I am studying English in Seattle now :))
But I have to leave here in a few days.......
I just I want to say thank you for providing those nice videos.
I will keep leaning English with ur videos:))))
ur videos make me happy
I just want to cry right now... I wanted to go to Japan this year but unfortunately I couldn't...
ありがとうございます、チカさん！ビデオは楽しかったです。
I'm planning a trip in 2018 and now I feel so inspired to absorb the spiritual side of this culture when the neon lights and craziness (no offense meant by that rather its amazement) is out the way. Such good quality videos well done :)
Thank you for this video. I am doing a presentation for the Shinto religion and this has helped me understand the more real and common parts of hatsumode that ive been searching for. subbed
Aww Chika this was such a lovely video! You look so stunning in your Kimono. My dream is to live in Japan long enough to experience all the cultural things that visiting tourists don't get to experience.
Very interesting video thanks for sharing!!!
Thank you for this video
This is very good. I'm a mythology professor teaching Shinto this week. I plan to show this to my class tomorrow.
I am 8 years late to this, but wow, loved it!
I really like this video. I ´ve watched it before I visited Japan so it helped me to try to do the things right. When I see this video, it reminds me my great time in japanese shrines. Thanks a lot!
Just discovered your channel today! I love it! I went to Japan for the first time this year (accidentally during cherry blossom season! what luck!) and fell in love with the country! Your videos take me back to my experience and are helping me to plan my next trip. :D
arigato gozaimasu! these videos are great and they're inspiring me to visit soon! you do such great work and very informative. :)
Great video! Love your channel!

I am Japanese, but I didn't know a lot of things you mentioned on this video. your Japanagos channel could be some tool for me to learn my own culture as well. I love your both channels!!
Such a beautiful place. Great video too, i learned a good bit :)
For some reason this video made me happy

Thanks Chika! Visiting Meiji on Sunday so I was hoping to get all the motions right :)
What a breathtaking place to go! It looks like it'd be very peaceful and full of positive energy. I just discovered your channel and your videos make me want to visit even more! Thank you for adding the back story so we could further see its importance and value. It was really moving :-)
oh i've been here before! it's such a pretty place! really am amazed how elegant the Shinto religion is. :) thanks for explaining everything it's really useful to learn about the place from a Japanese perspective. thank you
I was so surprised about that this is your first Hatumode.
Good guide and happy new year Chika!
I hope you also can introduce Yokohama China Town because these days is Chinese new year!!
懐かしいですよね。ちょっとちかさんがうらやましくて、景色やお着物が本当に美しいなんです。早く日本に帰りたいです。僕がちかさんのビデオを見たら、いい感じになりますよ。ビデオを撮ってくれてありがとうございます。それに、 I'm glad to see you enjoying the things that I couldn't while I lived in Japan. You inspire me to start vlogging, too, but I'm so nervous and I don't really have anywhere nice to vlog.
ありがと、このビデオはとても役に立つね、ぜひ 行きたいよ。👍👍👍👍👍
Great video loved seeing this great experience I hope I get todo
This is really interesting
you make me happy I love Japan!!!!
Beautiful video
thanks so much for the video
youre so pretty and your yukata was gorgeous
Super informative.
So cute
I really love Shinto
Very informative video! My favorite shrine so far is the Tsurugaoka Hachiman Shrine in Kamakura. If I can ever make it to Izumo I suspect that will be my new favorite.
すみません先生 you look so beautiful with that kimono
yes, isn't she?
wibu
very informative
Thanks for this nice video
I know it's a minor detail, but those are some of the best maintained trees I have seen for a long time.
i just found this channel, and so far im liking this channel, you got a new subscriber ! keep the good work up! :)
Konnichiwa Chika-san....arigato gozaimasu for such kawaai videos
Omg! I got that same omikuji back when i first visited meiji! XD
This is a great video for Japanese people too! I really love your kimono and you look gorgeous
awesome.. very easy to understand..
Thank you for another beautiful video about Japan!
About washing hands, I learnt one more step from my grandparents (Japanese). After you rinse your mouth, pour rest of the water in the cup to the handle so the next person can use it clean.
I also learnt I don't need to actually rinse my mouth, but pretend to do so, such as bringing the cup close to the mouth, not putting water in it.
I'm looking forward to your next video as well as bilingirl channel!
Thanks for the additional info! It's nice to learn together :) I like the cleaning step, it's very Japanese!
This video came up when I was looking up Japanese Offertory. I'm so glad I found this channel even though this video is old! (btw I was looking up offertory because I was watching an anime, Laid Back Camp, and they kept saying a mini camp grill looked like an offertory lol)
Beauty Of Japan.
so good!
Great!
ちかさん♪
素敵な動画をありがとうございます★
私の実家が神社なので海外の方にこのような動画を見てもらえるのが嬉しいです。
Wonderful video Chika ! You look do beautiful in your kimono ! I've been waiting for a video , you are actually my fav j vlogger :D
Why thank you! I'm very flattered :)
great video. lots of positive energy. even the background music is great. i was surprised by the fact that they had english fortunes along side the japanese ones. i'll have to put this on my long list of to-dos.
keep doing what you do best
I was surprised too! a bit relieved as well actually lol
