《 Deeply Connected to the Shrine: Japanese Sake 》
In this experience, the shrine priest offer prayers for participants a safe and smooth journey ahead. It’s a meaningful and traditional way to ensure safe travels.
‥‥
To conclude the experience and ensure your journey ahead remains safe and enjoyable, let’s offer prayers in the sacred main hall. … When people usually visit a shrine, they place an offering in the offertory box outside the building and then bow in prayer. Without these customary actions, you can’t enter the inner sanctum. Many shrines also decline requests for photos inside. However, we’ve been granted special permission for the professional photographer to capture moments inside the shrine. Please offer your prayers for a safe journey with a calm heart.
Actually, sake (Japanese rice wine) has deep connections with Shinto shrines and is one of the offerings made to Shinto deities. We hope you’ll enjoy the sake offered as a conclusion to the experience. We also wish for the safety and happiness for the rest of your trip.
