Shinto Shrine RitesShinto is not a religion which controls behaviours of believers according to a doctrine or commandments, but a faith that lets people have direct contact with Kami (the deity or the deities). Accordingly, worshipping and ritual ceremonies are regarded to be especially important.

If you are planning on visiting a shrine and want to know how to go about doing an individual rite see the last section of this article. You can skip to the bottom.

Sushi ChopsticksRest your chopsticks properly. If eating at a sushi bar, place your chopsticks in front of you, parallel to the edge of the bar, with the narrow ends on the "Hashioki" (a small item to rest your chopsticks) this is the most polite way to rest your chopsticks during any occasion. While it is not as polite to place them on the plate, if you do, place your chopsticks across your plate, not leaning on your plate, or haphazardly strewn across your plate.

Sakura BlossomsHanami is an anual event held across Japan. In modern-day Japan, hanami mostly consists of having an outdoor party under the sakura tree during daytime or at night. Hanami at night is called yozakura (lit. "night sakura"). In many places such as Ueno Park temporary paper lanterns are hung for the purpose of yozakura. It is most popular when the flowers are falling from the tree. In the more polpular viewing areas in Tokyo, and other large cities you must mark the place you want to view the cherry blossoms well in advance.

Welcome to the land of the rising sun, or smoggy sun if you are in Tokyo, Osaka, or any other of the major megalopolis. Well now that you are here you will be looking for a job, a place to stay, or maybe you don’t know what you are doing, and just want to read this guide anyway.
