Most travelers only see Japan’s shrines from the outside. This experience invites you inside—into the quiet world where centuries-old traditions still breathe.

In a small town in Mie Prefecture, you’ll be welcomed not as a tourist, but as an honored guest by the Ujiko—the local community who have cared for this shrine for generations. Dressed in traditional Samue robes, you’ll take part in sacred rituals usually reserved for insiders: a formal purification ceremony (Shubatsu), mindful cleansing of the shrine grounds, and a rare Tokubetsu Sanpai (special visit to the inner sanctuary).

You’ll also craft your own Goshuin, a hand-brushed shrine seal symbolizing your spiritual connection to the place—something you cannot simply buy. The day concludes with a Naorai, a shared traditional lunch with the priest and community members, where stories, smiles, and traditions are exchanged freely across cultures.

✨ [Optional Add-on: Sacred Hemp Wind Chime Craft] For an even deeper experience, you can add our wind chime craft session (+60 mins) to your booking. Using sacred hemp—an ancient Shinto symbol of purity—you’ll create a powerful protective charm to bring the tranquil energy of the shrine back home.

This is an authentic connection with Japan’s living heritage, guided by the people who preserve it. For those seeking meaning beyond sightseeing, this experience is worth every mile.
