But look, there’s also something unusual – around a large tree, there’s a rope with zig-zag folded papers. Let’s find out more about it.

    Japanese shrines are known for their serene and majestic beauty that has captured the attention of people worldwide. They are usually set amidst lush greenery and are designed to blend seamlessly with their natural surroundings, creating a harmonious and peaceful atmosphere. Here are some of the elements that contribute to the beauty of Japanese shrines:

    Architecture: Japanese shrines feature an impressive and intricate architectural style that has been refined over centuries. They are characterized by a distinctive roofline that curves upwards at the corners, known as the chigi, and crossed beams called katsuogi. The use of natural materials such as wood, stone, and thatch gives the shrines a timeless, organic feel.

    Gardens: Shrines often feature beautiful gardens that are carefully designed to enhance the natural beauty of the surrounding area. The gardens are often minimalist in style, with carefully placed rocks, raked gravel, and simple plantings that create a sense of tranquility.

    Sacred gates: The torii gate is a distinctive feature of Japanese shrines, marking the entrance to the sacred space. These gates are usually made of wood or stone and are painted in bright vermilion, a color that symbolizes purification and protection.

    Rituals: Japanese shrines are places of ritual and tradition, with many of the ceremonies and practices dating back centuries. Visitors can witness these rituals, such as the purification rites at the temizuya (water pavilion) or the ringing of the temple bell to ward off evil spirits.

    Overall, the beauty of Japanese shrines is a result of their thoughtful design, connection to nature, and deep spiritual significance. They offer a peaceful sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and a chance to connect with Japan's rich cultural heritage.
