Best Practices for Photographers
1. Look for signs (撮影禁止 = no photos; 撮影可能 = allowed).
2. When in doubt, ask: A polite “Sumimasen, shashin o totte mo ii desu ka?” (“Excuse me, may I take a photo?”) shows respect .
3. Stay mindful: Avoid flash, tripods, selfie sticks; don’t step on restricted paths; stay to the side, particularly on pathways considered sacred.
4. Be discreet: Don’t disrupt worshippers or sacred ceremonies.
5. Follow each site’s rules: Policies vary by temple and shrine—what’s allowed at one may be banned at another.
