This video is an introduction for my live, interactive virtual tour to Okini Tama Shrine, one of the oldest Shinto shrines in Japan, a place to immerse yourself in the magical world of Shinto. Also known as The-Way-Of-The-Gods, Shinto is the indigenous Japanese religion that holds the belief that everything in our world is inhabited by a Kami, a divine spirit.
In this tour, in addition to the main shrine, we visit several smaller shrines, each one the home of a powerful Kami. And, at the Water God’s shrine, for an even more personal experience of Shinto’s magic, we use an ancient ritual to purify our spirits.
Being eighteen centuries old, the history of the shine is infused with myths and legends and, as we enjoy our tour, you will hear stories from its past and about its kami, the mythical Okuni Nushi.
