| Since professional miko are mostly the daughters of priests, their relatives or those who have connections to the shrine, shrines do not publicly seek many professional miko (and generally, only large shrines can afford to hire them). |
本職巫女の多くは神職の娘・近親者など、その神社に縁がある人が奉仕することが多く、本職巫女の求人は余り多いとは言えない（本職巫女を置けるのは大規模神社に限られる場合が多い）。 |
