In general, it is standard for people to choose to visit the shrine of their patron Shinto god, but in some cases people instead visit a shrine closer to where they live, or choose to pay homage at a famous shrine (for example, at Meiji-jingu Shrine or Atsuta-jingu Shrine). |
また、お参りは氏神様にするのが基本だが、現住所の近場の神社ですませたり、有名な大きい神社(例:明治神宮・熱田神宮)へ参拝に行く場合も有る。 |
