    Hi guys, one correction about the video. When washing your hands, do it over the drain instead of over the water. Thanks for watching.
  • @nufsioohay
    Maybe Logan Paul should have watched this beforehand...
  • @tcartt
    Don't do these wrong things at a Japanese shrine! does every wrong thing at an actual shrine
  • @wh91lion
    I am Japanese. Thanks for sharing the manner video at shrines. One thing that I have to mention here.... 0:29 You must not clean your hands "above the water pool"! Do not let (unclean) water go back to the pool...its really not good. The right way is scoop water from the pool and wash outside of the pool.
  • @Huyndoan
    this is surprisingly funnier than it should be
  • Also, you may have skipped it because it is obvious to you, but don't step on the threshold at the entrance. Some shrines have a raised wooden threshold that kind of looks like a step. My son step right up on one and froze a women in her tracks as she just pointed with an aghast look on her face. Thx for the video, I am looking forward to spending 3 months in Japan as soon as the world recovers. :)

    "Don't take a bath in the shrine". Chinese man in Venice canal: heavy breathing

    the gods when paolo was in making of this video: wat.. the -... rudest person ive seen. Paolo- NO GODS WERE HARMED IN VIDEO
  • @Rafael_Yemane
    I'm not going to lie, this guy made me love Japan even more with the way he presented it, and it was so funny. I enjoyed it, and his explanation of manners was helpful for foreigners because no one tells you what is acceptable or not. Thank you for this video, and you are funny too!
  • @babbar3871
    As a Muslim, what I find fascinating about this - is that its an ancient tradition; The belief in some god and the bowing and/or prostration was a similarity between the two civilizations (Muslim civilizations and Japanese) centuries before they had any interaction with one another. The cleaning with the water ladel is even sooo similar to how Muslims perform their obligatory water cleansing (wudu) before prayer. We're all bound to each other by some sort of goodness!
  • Some shrines have a bell to ring. I wish you could have showed us how to include that. But the what not to do stuff were really funny! LOL
  • Great video! Even natives don't know fully or forget their manners, so when a foreigner knows, it's very impressive!
  • Japan is a good & best tourists places in the world, I liked this video very much.
  • @lococrash
    THX for the tips im currently visiting Japan and THX to your guides i'm enjoing this trip.
  • @spicymangooo
    Haha I honestly didn’t know about the bowing as you leave part! Glad I looked this up from you! My trusted fun Japanese culture tidbits channel!
  • @Edwinpottillius
    Just common sense and respect. Thanks for another great and informative video Paolo!
  • @user-le9sf5np2x
    I think it's an interesting and easy-to-understand video for foreigners. I posted a video of the shrine on YouTube, and I thought I'd make a video of how to worship, but this video is enough. Thank you!
