Meiji Shrine ceremony




There were a number of different rituals within the ceremony, including to exchange our rings. This somehow felt a more modern practice or non Japanese.



Towards the end, the miko showered us and the guests with their bells, which was very nice.



The best part was walking out of the ceremony in complete silence. Our ceremony was the at the end of the day when the shrine is already closed to visitors. It was a very sober feeling to walk on our own in such a grand place.
