Before you go to the main place of the shrine you should wash your hands and rinse your mouth. Once you reach the main building, to pray you ring the bell, throw the coin, two claps one bow, and pray your hope, then one clap and bow again.

English language school in the heart of the Japanese Alps, and English language learners sharing their experiences online. Teachers post regular items about teaching, learning tools, events in the school, their day to day experiences living & working in a foreign country. Students post on whatever takes their fancy - book reports, festivals in home towns, postcards from business trips etc. A little Brit of England in the guts of Japan!

Hello ,
ReplyDeleteAs far as I know, "two bows - two claps - one bow" is the etiquette.
I'm not 100% sure about the praying timing, but it's probably just after two claps.
