Here are fives word related to Japanese temple and shrines! 🏯⛩

While omamori, omikuji and omairi can be used in relation to both temple and shrines, monks (お坊さん, obousan), are usually associated with Buddhist shrines, whilst torii gates (鳥居) are mainly found at Shinto shrines. ⛩

Shinto priests are called kannnushi (神主) and are identifiable by the long hats they wear, while Buddhist temple gates are called sanmon (山門) and resemble smalls buildings you need to pass through to enter! 🎑

How many of these did you know? 🤓

Read today’s article to discover some of the most interesting torii gates in Japan!⛩

Although Japan has a reputation for being a diffic

Although Japan has a reputation for being a difficult place to live as a vegan, there are actually quite a few Japanese dishes that are traditionally vegan. 🥑

These eight dishes are commonly eaten in Japan and are great to order when eating out or to try making at home if you’re vegan. Some of these may contain katsuobushi dashi (a stock often made using bonito flakes), however dashi can easily be substituted for a konbu seaweed based stock, instead. 🥬

Before eating out in Japan, it’s always best to check if there are any animal products in whatever you’re ordering beforehand (especially in the case that it’s made using dashi stock)! 🍜

Which of these would you try? 🤤

This is Heian Jingu shrine in Kyoto which dates back relatively recently to 1895. ⛩

Modelled after the Hiean era Imperial Palace (but on a smaller scale), Heian Jingu Shrine is the perfect place to enjoy a mixture of nature, culture and history! 🎑🍃🍵

Visit on the 22nd of October to enjoy their annual Jidai Festival (period-costume festival) and see what life was like in ancient Japan! 🎎
