SHINTO SHRINE IN TOKYO

AMAZING TEMPLES AND HISTORICAL SITES. ONE WILL UNDERGO THE FEELING OF ONENESS WITH THE LORD AS WE PRAY TO THE LORD TO BLESS ONE AND ALL WITH DEVOTION IN EVERY TEMPLE FOR DARSHAN.

One of the week ends during my 6 months stay in Tokyo,Japan I visited a Shintoists shrine where they worship the sun and sky.
From outside the shrine and Buddist temples all look some waht similar, byt the Shinto shrines have exclusely bright orange color painted over the beautiful wooden structures at entrace and all over.
Fascinatingly, I saw a well maintained lawn of white pebbles big and small and a few big stones. The devotees worship the same considering that the biggest stone is the sun god, the smaller one moon, grahas and stars in the sky. That is true worship of nature.SHITOISM is based on worship of nature and the SUN GOD.
