The way to worship in Japan is quite unique.

This is an instruction how to pray.
A light bow once

When you go around the back of the shrine, you will find stone statues of the twelve signs of the Chinese zodiac.
If you stroke the stone statue of your Chinese zodiac, good things may happen.
This is a Gosyuin you can get at Asama Jinja.
She looks happy to have a new one.
Each shrine and temple has its own unique Gosyuin, and some of them are so colorful and look like art.
