shrines
We get to enter a holy land that’s been protected since ancient times, and it reminds us of the world of Princess Mononoke.
Just a half-hour outside downtown Tokyo, legends say that if you enter this thicket, you’ll be spirited away and never return.
Shrine enthusiasts come up with a clever solution to help preserve an important tradition.
“More care than a nuclear weapon” required to restore the burial mound dedicated to Japan’s most vengeful spirit.
Elaborate sting operation lasts over four hours, ends with an officer tripping over and another one appearing from the bushes in a full-on Ghillie suit.
The PS5 is welcomed into the world at a Japanese shrine with a long history of protecting electronics.
Cats have a habit of hanging out wherever they want to, but at this shrine felines are honored guests.
Unique blend of botanicals includes seaweed, tea, wasabi, and Japanese cedar, as a nod to the wood used in red shrine gates.
Shrines are cooling off from the summer heat by taking the art of flower arrangement to a whole new level.
