As an Indian I can easily connect with the Shinto Shrine culture and prayers and traditions Japan is an amazing nation and an inspiration to the World

Thank you guys for the wonderful comments! Glad you enjoyed exploring Meiji Shrine with me :) I learned a lot as well!

That is false religion. It cannot save your soul or even give you true peace of the heart! Because it is not life, but death. You are to know your Creator, the One who made you. He knows what is good for you and if you obey Him, He will give you true peace in your heart. Do you know Who is your Creator? kzread.info/dash/bejne/foeEktKScb2pZLg.html

I have dreamed of visiting Japan all my life. I am not a religious person at all, but I want to visit as many Shinto Shrines as possible. I'm sure I would get very... emotionnal at a shrine. Just from the videos I've seen, there seem to be something so... serene and peaceful in these places. This is something I need right now. Modern life is too fast...

I visited these shrines.

I'm always so sad in the best way possible when these videos end. It's so interesting learning about this culture. It's an entirely new world it feels like and I really want to experience it for myself one day!

It’s been 6 years now, have you had the chance to go to Japan yet? I hope you do get to :)

That is the most understandable video telling non-japanese the way to visit a shrine i've ever watched. By the way, with who did you record that video? I've thought you take a record on your own but sometime I can see your whole.

We watched many youtube videos today about Japan and my 10 year old son said "This was the best video about Japan we watched today" when we finished this one... so your wish came true!

Japan is so full of many traditions. The culture and rituals are so beautiful. Thank you for sharing.this. If I ever, or should I say "when", I go to Japan, I will make it a point to visit the shrines. I just wonder how a Christian would be accepted in a Shinto shrine. Then again, I'm sure the Japanese are used to seeing foreigners with their cameras wondering around everywhere.

No matter what kind of religion you believe, you are welcomed as long as you behave and are respectful. Only some Koreans are not welcomed because thay often steal statures from temples, do graffiti, and even set fire to shrines.

Shinto isn't a religion, it is moreso a spiritual practice/a culture. Most people that practice Shintoism actually would say Buddhism is their religion. There is no religious affliction with Shinto, one of the many great things about it 😊

We’re learning about Japan and my test is tomorrow. I am FREAKING out. This video helps so much. So easy to understand too.

Your whish back in 2014 came true, your videos do make people happy. I love learning something new and you videos are of great help.

Thank you so much for this! I adore Japan and it's culture and it's great to see it's traditions and stuff and to learn more! :) I learnt a lot in this video. Thank you!

I really like your channel! It's really cool to learn so many different things about Japan. Looking forward to more videos!

For your wish, I just want to say you do make me happy with your videos! Thank you for making such helpful videos :)

This was very educational for me. I've been researching proper etiquette in Japan for my travel next year, because i want to visit my first shrine and wanted to pray and be respectful. Thank you

My history teacher has been showing us your videos! I really like them ❤️

Thank you for the info! I'm trying to learn more about Shinto and Japanese culture so this was very helpful!

I just came across your wonderful video. Thank you very much for sharing. Everything was explained in an easy to understand means. I will remember all this when I visit Japan.

This was a great video! Very informative....and very well shoot. Thanks

I'm soo happy i found your channel! and Finally!! i've seen soo many youtubers showing the shrines but never really explaining anything!

what a great video! I wish I had had someone like you with me while I was stationed in Japan to help me understand what I was seeing and experiencing. I would have appreciated it so much more.

What a beautiful place,and lovely traditions ⛩️ I like the custom of writing on the little wooden plaques.

Meiji Jingu was undoubtedly my favorite part of visiting Tokyo and my fondest memory of Japan thus far. If Tokyo was a desert Meiji Jingu would be it's oasis, it's a magical place! 全然諦めないチカ！

Thank you for sharing this wonderful experience. Very illuminating subject.

Hi, I've just come across your channel and think its great. My wife and I have visited Japan twice after hosting many Japanese students in Australia. Such a beautiful country with fantastic people. I will spend many hours watching your vids and giving me ideas and explanations. Thankyou so much Mark

You look so pretty in your kimono! :3 Thank you for another great lesson!

Thank you very much for sharing this beautiful video :) I really really want to visit Japan, and this shrine is now a must-visit on my list :) I was feeling so much positive energy even just watching the video, I can imagine how calm and positive it would be to actually be there. Lots of Love to you ♥

Wonderful explanation! Thank you, Chika!

This was awesome, and beautiful!

I just went there last week! Amazing place walking in from Yoyogi and I managed to see a traditional wedding held there. Now I know the customs, I will be sure to follow them the next time I visit Meiji Jingu.

The kimono looks great on you:-) I enjoyed this video, thanks!

Such a beautiful place. Great video too, i learned a good bit :)

arigato gozaimasu! these videos are great and they're inspiring me to visit soon! you do such great work and very informative. :)

Not only you're one of the most subtly adorable persons I've ever heard and seen, your channel is like a Heaven's Gaze to me. Thank you.

I really like this video. I ´ve watched it before I visited Japan so it helped me to try to do the things right. When I see this video, it reminds me my great time in japanese shrines. Thanks a lot!

This is beautiful. everything about Shinto is beautiful and pure.

Your videos are really good for listening! Actually I am studying English in Seattle now :)) But I have to leave here in a few days....... I just I want to say thank you for providing those nice videos. I will keep leaning English with ur videos:))))

I always enjoy　watching your vlog. Especialy I watch to learn English. Thank you!

Thank you for this video. I am doing a presentation for the Shinto religion and this has helped me understand the more real and common parts of hatsumode that ive been searching for. subbed

Great video! Love your channel!

Keep it up Chika-san! Love your videos

love ur vids chika! keep up the great work.

懐かしいですよね。ちょっとちかさんがうらやましくて、景色やお着物が本当に美しいなんです。早く日本に帰りたいです。僕がちかさんのビデオを見たら、いい感じになりますよ。ビデオを撮ってくれてありがとうございます。それに、 I'm glad to see you enjoying the things that I couldn't while I lived in Japan. You inspire me to start vlogging, too, but I'm so nervous and I don't really have anywhere nice to vlog.

Thank you and I have learnt and understand more about the shrine. I enjoy your video. You speak good english. Keep up the good works . Thumb up

Very interesting video thanks for sharing!!!

Aww Chika this was such a lovely video! You look so stunning in your Kimono. My dream is to live in Japan long enough to experience all the cultural things that visiting tourists don't get to experience.

This makes me want to go to Japan all the more! I would LOVE to visit one of those shrines! Thanks for posting this! :-)

What a breathtaking place to go! It looks like it'd be very peaceful and full of positive energy. I just discovered your channel and your videos make me want to visit even more! Thank you for adding the back story so we could further see its importance and value. It was really moving :-)

Thank you very much. This is a Very informative vlog. Specially for us foreigners :)

Thank you for sharing, chika

A fantastic video, thank you so much.

Just discovered your channel today! I love it! I went to Japan for the first time this year (accidentally during cherry blossom season! what luck!) and fell in love with the country! Your videos take me back to my experience and are helping me to plan my next trip. :D

oh i've been here before! it's such a pretty place! really am amazed how elegant the Shinto religion is. :) thanks for explaining everything it's really useful to learn about the place from a Japanese perspective. thank you

ur videos make me happy

great video!

I'm planning a trip in 2018 and now I feel so inspired to absorb the spiritual side of this culture when the neon lights and craziness (no offense meant by that rather its amazement) is out the way. Such good quality videos well done :)

very interesting video. thanks for sharing!

Great video loved seeing this great experience I hope I get todo

Your channel seriously inspires me to work hard at my Japanese language as I hope to live in your beautiful country some day. I would like to say thank-you! So many treasured traditions, I am very envious of you and your cultural experiences!

I was so surprised about that this is your first Hatumode. Good guide and happy new year Chika! I hope you also can introduce Yokohama China Town because these days is Chinese new year!!

Super informative.

This is very good. I'm a mythology professor teaching Shinto this week. I plan to show this to my class tomorrow.

Thanks for this nice video

Very informative video! My favorite shrine so far is the Tsurugaoka Hachiman Shrine in Kamakura. If I can ever make it to Izumo I suspect that will be my new favorite.

you make me happy I love Japan!!!!

Omg! I got that same omikuji back when i first visited meiji! XD

This is a great video for Japanese people too! I really love your kimono and you look gorgeous

This is really interesting

Thank you for another beautiful video about Japan! About washing hands, I learnt one more step from my grandparents (Japanese). After you rinse your mouth, pour rest of the water in the cup to the handle so the next person can use it clean. I also learnt I don't need to actually rinse my mouth, but pretend to do so, such as bringing the cup close to the mouth, not putting water in it. I'm looking forward to your next video as well as bilingirl channel!

What a wonderful video. Thank you very much for sharing and explaining your customs. (my only critique would be that the captions in the boxes moved a little bit too fast)

This video came up when I was looking up Japanese Offertory. I'm so glad I found this channel even though this video is old! (btw I was looking up offertory because I was watching an anime, Laid Back Camp, and they kept saying a mini camp grill looked like an offertory lol)

love the video wish i could go to japan i've been learning japanese for a few years now but i still have a long way to go before i learn the language completely :)

Great!

awesome vid, subscribed

Wow awesome

Excellent, entertaining and educational. Keep up the great work, Chika !
