I’ve been seeing this kind of thing a lot. I am a devout Christian. I’ve lived in America my entire life. I have no connection to Shinto whatsoever. And even so, when I see this it makes my blood boil. It would make me want to die if I acted this way in a place like that. It’s disgraceful and anyone who does it should be ashamed of themselves. If it doesn’t belong to you, perhaps have some respect and show some decency instead of looking for social media likes. That’s just my opinion on it. For whatever that’s worth.
Dear tourists: PLEASE STOP DOING THIS. Japan is known for gracefully welcoming foreigners, but those days will end if you continue this disrespect. You are leaving an extremely shameful impression of your entire country. Who raised you to act this way? Just stop. Thank you.
