Miko Shrine

The Miko Shrine refers to a Shinto shrine dedicated to the Miko, who are traditional shrine maidens serving in Japanese spiritual practices. These shrines are places of worship where visitors can pay respects, offer prayers, and experience Japanese religious rituals. The Miko, historically women trained in sacred ceremonies, assist with shrine functions and spiritual activities. The shrine often features traditional architecture, sacred objects, and rituals that promote harmony, purification, and connection with kami (deities). It plays a vital role in preserving Japan’s cultural and spiritual heritage.
