Hi guys, one correction about the video. When washing your hands, do it over the drain instead of over the water. Thanks for watching.

I am Japanese. Thanks for sharing the manner video at shrines. One thing that I have to mention here.... 0:29 You must not clean your hands "above the water pool"! Do not let (unclean) water go back to the pool...its really not good. The right way is scoop water from the pool and wash outside of the pool.

this is surprisingly funnier than it should be

Maybe Logan Paul should have watched this beforehand...

Don't do these wrong things at a Japanese shrine!


*does every wrong thing at an actual shrine*

9 out of 10 dentists recommend brushing your teeth at the nearest shrine.

Also, you may have skipped it because it is obvious to you, but don't step on the threshold at the entrance. Some shrines have a raised wooden threshold that kind of looks like a step. My son step right up on one and froze a women in her tracks as she just pointed with an aghast look on her face. Thx for the video, I am looking forward to spending 3 months in Japan as soon as the world recovers. :)

Some shrines have a bell to ring. I wish you could have showed us how to include that. But the what not to do stuff were really funny! LOL

As a Muslim, what I find fascinating about this - is that its an ancient tradition;
The belief in some god and the bowing and/or prostration was a similarity between the two civilizations (Muslim civilizations and Japanese) centuries before they had any interaction with one another. The cleaning with the water ladel is even sooo similar to how Muslims perform their obligatory water cleansing (wudu) before prayer. We're all bound to each other by some sort of goodness!

the gods when paolo was in making of this video: wat.. the -... rudest person ive seen.

Paolo- NO GODS WERE HARMED IN VIDEO

[NihongoFlashcards]

Great video! Even natives don't know fully or forget their manners, so when a foreigner knows, it's very impressive!

[nandemone]

I choked on my milk tea 😂🤣 he should do more of this including the funny takes

[michaelhughes]

Damn, I was drinking matcha tea and watching this. Ended up having to clean my laptop of tea that accidently spit from laughing at this vlog. But seriously, great tips BEFORE visiting a Shrine. Btw, I have knowledge learned from my Mom (she was born in Sapporo), but this video was entertaining and informative as well. Thanx, again. And remember folks, DON'T BE THAT "BAD GAIJIN".

I recall that there is a proper way to clap your hands. One hand should be slightly lower than the other, I forget which one.

Glad you mentioned about leaving the middle of the steps alone so the gods can use them.

I won't be visiting japan anytime soon sadly, but we have a traditional japanese shrine here in germany aswell.
I visited it once without knowing all the rules. Next time I wanna do better! 💖
