When we often come to Japan and visit the major Shrines such as Meiji Shrine, Sensoji, Fushimi Inari and Nishiarai Daishi, we often see the various Shrine Priests and Shrine Priestesses don the outfits.
We see them and often underestimate their true value and role they play when they appear in front of us.
In this video, I wish to give you all an insight into this exclusive world that many of us would like to gather a deeper understanding including:
- Shrine Mannerisms
- Shrine Vocabulary
- Shinto Shrine Priest Training
I was very fortunate enough to be able to participate in this experience, all thanks to the good folks at the 新宮市観光協会 Kumano Shingu City Tourist Association, 楽天市場（Rakuten, Inc.） and Voyagin.
A big thank you to Kumano Hayatama Taisha for allowing us this insight.
I hope you enjoy this video and comment on what you learnt from this!
