Shinto Shrine Bells
Autumn 1979


Some, but not all, Shinto shrines have bells, and most shrines are painted red. Other shrines I visited in Japan can be seen in previous Foreign Friday posts: here and here.

    It was interesting to read the practices involved in visiting a shrine. Is that what you did on your visits?

    We visited a few shrines when I was in Japan... Kyoto and Osaka...I think. At the time I don't think I appreciated the tours as much as I should of!!
