See, in America, when I say I am learning Japanese language, people assume I am into anime. I really have never been into anime much. I'm sure there's a lot of good shows, but THIS is what I find fascinating about Japan. The traditional culture and history.
I go to different shrine atlease 1 or 2x a month for 3 years since i lived here in japan and i observed that younger japanese do not really observed this kind of practice but instead they just go to shrine and temples to take a picture just like i do but i also observed that its the elder people who really do this kind of practice (bowing , clapping and everything.) 😊
I got two daikichi omikuji in 2019, and I still have them. :) Glad to know I did as much correctly as possible when in Ise Grand Shrine, though. That is not the sort of place you want to be the annoying foreigner who doesn't understand what to do.
While I knew some of the rules, I have no idea of why we are supposed to do so. Thank you so much, I loved this video! Could you also create a video about what people in Japan have for a small shrine/altar at home? I have seen fruits there, for example. But what are they for and what do you do with them after? Probably it's polite to throw them away?
Congratulations on your good fortune! This is on the list of things to do before I die. Hopefully I have as much luck as you did and can one day travel to your country. I would love to visit Watatsumi Shrine in Tsushima. It really does look like the place where you would walk into the sacred world. I'm so glad they got the funding to restore the torii that fell. You look very elegant in your kimono, by the way. :)
I love this style of video, Its interesting and I feel I can (just about) keep up with the narration with japanese subtitles. Plus, it looks great, really good production.
@@mikurealjapanese Yeah, I’m in Mexico doing my school exchange. I live together with my three host sisters and my host mom. Son muy cariñosas! Dónde vivías en México?
Thank you miku! I want to visit Japan some day if I do, Shinto shrine is on the list. Wasn’t sure how to properly show respect. Now I can have a bit more confidence
wonderful video miku chan, makes me wish i want to see the shrine for myself, to have some peace of mind, to help me remove all of the turmoil i have been through and take my mind off of all the stuff that was going on in my mind, and to meet good people there at japan.
thank you, miku-sensei! this is the best guide to jinja i've seen yet. i've visited the major shrines in tokyo and kyoto, but i was clueless. now i know what to do and not do next time i visit one.
Hi Miku! What do you think about making a video about slang phrases and words, that Japanese people use in restaurants, when they prepare and serve food? I think it would be a great video for people trying to work in a japanese restaurant or with a Japanese chef 😊
Thank you for your video I’m Japanese and studying English Your videos are helpful. I made movies on TH-cam both Japanese and English subtitles Keep safe
You look gorgeous in your kimono. Have you been a Miku before? I learned before that there were also part time "Shrine maiden" (Miku) from an NHK Nihongo lesson program years ago. まった ね！
Great video and awesome look wearing a kimono. Just a recommendation: although would be a lot of work it would be great if you indicate using colors the correspondence in Japanese/English in captions. Beside of that great work and amazing videos. Thanks for teaching us Japanese language and culture. Regards from Spain.
It's really funny and interesting what things people made up world-wide to appease (supposed) destiny😊 Be it Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, or Shintoism. But the rules to visit a shrine in Shintoism look very interesting! Really refreshing for a person who basically only knows churches like me. If I were to visit Japan, I'd try going to a shrine. Your video is really helpful to know how to behave there!
Hi Miku - sensei, another lovely video! Considering that the torii is there to separate the sacred from the human world, my Japanese friends always find it difficult to explain why the Japanese characters for torii (鳥居) seem to mean it's a place where "birds reside", maybe you can help 😊.
I always, always got confused with the order or ringing a bell and the clapping, hopefully I can get it right next time I go to a Shinto shrine (if the Japanese government opens borders to studets).
Miku sensei,plz make video all n3 grammar rules,and add them in a playlist..plz sensei ...it will be a great help to us,who has financial problem and want to learn Japanese like me...your lecture easily i can catch,and other person too, i think..love u sensei..
Can we talk about intro, that was so bedazzling ..u're looking beautiful sensei.❤👍😊...btw in noragami , yato also charges 5 - yen for any work ,right ?
Hi miku buenas tardes. Por favor please if you can explain little bit the 連体形 when it comes to verbs お願いします. Porque no hay alguien que lo explica. I heard that verbs always comes in 辞書 form but there is too for example. 無くしたもの or 飲み物 ... Where ? Those came from? Gracias
The Sacred Lottery (o-mikuji) lead to the invention of the "Chinese" Fortune Cookie in United States around 1900. There are various European customs that little prizes or gifts are baked into cookies or cakes for prizes. With new bigger trade with Asia around 1900s, United States people started to add little strips of party with fortunes with the prizes. They mixed up the countries or the information was changes along the way and so they thought that the practice of fortunes on little strips of paper came from China not Japan.
I was recently approached by Shinto brothers and sisters on the streets of Okinawa. They asked to pray for me. Can anyone explain further what the prayer consists of? Is it memorized? To whom is it offered? Why would they want to repeat the process if I just received it from someone else? Why did they invite me to their shrine? Etc.
Hey, congrats on your videos. I'd like to ask if people, whose religion is not shinto, are allowed to the shrine? Isn't is considered as sacred space only for believers?
When you bow when leaving, you walk through the gate and turn around to face the shrine and then bow? Or do you turn around, don’t go through the gate, and then bow towards the shrine?
@@mikurealjapanese yeah! Actually I found your channel from listening to the Japanese with Noriko Podcast. I'm studying Japanese so now I watch your videos, too!
Miku! congratulations for the high quality your videos are getting. They are both informative and useful for learning! thank you so much!
Thank you for your encouragement! I'm so grateful for fans like you who are so supportive!!!!!!
@@mikurealjapanese what many japanese not religious?
Some years ago a japanese friend taught me the basics of shrine visit, but this was an informative and relaxing refresh. Thank you!
みく先生のビデオの中にこれが一番最高だと私が思いました。とても日本語を学ぶ者に対しては役立っています。心の奥から感謝します。ありがとうございます。
This is so helpful for learning, culture and listening and reading all in one. Thank you so much

Of all the shrine visiting videos I've seen, this is the prettiest and most informative one. Good job!
勉強になりました！神社の参り方の動画をいくつか見たことがあるけれど、ミク先生の動画で初めて知ったことはたくさんありました！神社にある石、右手を引いて手を叩くこと、10円は縁起が悪いと言われていることと、絵馬の由来は全部初耳でした！興味深かったです〜 ありがとうございました！

Thank you-this is something I want to do often when I go to Japan but didn’t know how. Very helpful
Thank you so much for teaching the Shinto rituals. I'll use this video as a tutorial, so I know what to do if I ever get the chance to visit a shrine.
This is very helpful! Thank you so much! And congratulations on getting the extreme luck paper!
みく先生の説明はとても分かりやすくて、きっと次の日本に行く機会には役に立つと思います。ありがとうございます。大吉おめでとうございます！
I really enjoyed this video. It was so informative. I hope in a few years I can go to Japan and emulate this at a shrine. Arrigato gozaimasu.
I will visit a shrine today for my birthday so thank you for this helpful information!

Thank you sooooooo much for this. This is perfect.
That was really interesting thanks - I have been doing it wrong! (And so glad you are going to be enjoying excellent luck :))

I like your channel 😍
I was hoping to see some Miko (shrine maidens). Instead of Miko, I found Miku.
This is nice 😊 I also visited a shrine and made a video about it on TH-cam, well like a series of 4 or 5 videos. I think 🤔 I'm not doing it right
Thank you for your comment!!! I'm glad you enjoyed it!!

ありがとうございます先生､ここに色々なことを習ってもらいました。
いつも日本語の勉強することを応援してください。

Pretty cool
わぁ、すごい面白いです！！
ええ、とても便利ですね、どうもありがとうございました
The only problem that I have with Japan right now…
Is that the border is closed 🤦♂️
Okay but is nobody going to talk about the fact that Miku Sensei in a Kimono is *Fatality* ?
Japanese culture is a complete mystery to me, but that's what makes it so interesting. Thank you so much for sharing ♡
Congratulations on the very lucky fortune slip!
先生は綺麗ですね
