    I’ve always been far more interested in traditional Japanese culture, language, and music than anime and visiting the more modern areas.
    Rest assured, when I visit Japan eventually, I’d like to experience both modern and traditional culture. But I’m definitely going to enjoy visiting the smaller towns and shrines more…

    Thank you for the clear lesson.
    I thought the desks faced the same way for some feng shui reason, or maybe because they faced Mecca. The last was just a fun thought rather than a serious guess.

    Excellent detail! I’ve only just learned what shinto is and I’m eager to learn more! It won’t be easy to practice here in Canada. The nearest shrine is two hours away!

    Any suggestions?
