How to Pay Your Respects At A Shinto Shrine
Kateigaho, Japan’s Arts & Culture magazine, have some articles from their back issues online, and there’s a great number of interesting articles to be found on many different aspects of Japanese culture.

I’ve been to this Shrine in Kyoto, it’s quite large and was covered half in scaffolding so I’m not sure if the resident Kami got a look at my bum of not.
Funny aside, in Thailand you can’t show the Buddha your feet.
