Gion Shrine

This is a recording from outside of the Gion Shrine. It is important to note that the recording comes from outside of the main part of the shrine. In the United States, we are much more open to being viewed and recorded due to our vouyeristic nature in the U.S.A. In Japan, there is a different kind of respect to privacy and to sacred spaces, so cameras, recorders, and drawings are not allowed in nearly any of the temples.
