About
For many visitors, the most meaningful moments in Japan happen in places where little is explicitly explained—a traditional dining room, a shrine, or a temple. This collection brings together three focused video lessons on ryotei dining, Shinto shrines, and Buddhist temples, giving you the cultural context to understand what you are seeing and how to move through each experience with greater ease. Across the three lessons, you’ll learn what to notice, how certain customs are approached, and why small gestures matter—from entering a tatami room and receiving a meal to purification, prayer, incense, and respectful movement through sacred spaces. The aim is not to give you a list of rules, but to help you recognize the thinking and rhythm behind these experiences so that Japan feels more legible, more natural, and more rewarding when you arrive. Includes all three video lessons: Ryotei Etiquette · Visiting Shrines · Visiting Temples
