Learn about shrines while learning English!

Easy to understand explanations of basic worship etiquette, the structure of the main shrine, the work of the priest and shrine maiden, protection and blessings, etc. It is very convenient that English and Japanese are always on the same page so that you can concisely explain shrines that are popular among foreigners, such as Ise Jingu, Izumo Taisha, Kasuga Taisha, Fushimi Inari, Sumiyoshi Taisha, Itsukushima Shrine, Nikko Toshogu Shrine, Fujisan Hongu Sengen Shrine, and Meiji Jingu. It also explains customs related to shrines, such as Shichi-Go-San and warding off evil spirits, making it an eye-opening introduction to shrines even for Japanese people. Full of full-color illustrations and photos. At the end of the book, there is a glossary of terms and a list of national festivals in spring, summer, fall, and winter.

[Recommended information from the editor]
With the rapid increase in the number of foreign tourists, a wide variety of guidebooks in English have been released, but the "Bilingual Guide to Japan" series specializes in knowledge that is useful for Japanese people as well. The first volume of the series, "A Bilingual Guide to Buddhist Statues,'' received many comments such as "There were so many things even I, a Japanese person, didn't know'' and "Learning English at the same time is a great way to train your brain!'' If you are not limited to foreigners or are unable to clearly explain the difference between a temple and a shrine, please make use of both volumes.
