Hello Mice-san! Since you are a former shrine maiden, I thought you would be a good person to ask about this. To put it simply: I'm a 13-year-old child who would like to become a shrine maiden in the future . But the thing is: I'm not from Japan, let alone Asia, and I was wondering if it was possible for a foreigner to become a shrine maiden. Since I adore Japanese culture, but mainly shrine maidens, Shinto shrines and stuff like that. I want to live in Japan in the future, but for actual jobs I would like to do shrine maiden was one of the only choices i had, and I wanted to know if it is still possible for me to become a shrine maiden, despite being a foreigner, or if foreigners aren't allowed to become shrine maidens, and that I need to look for other interesting jobs. Sincerely, Sam/Yakumo P.s. Have a great day anyone who reads this! 'v'
as a catholic altar server, we have similar outfit, but ours is called as, "Cassock" (cassocks are white or sometimes black) it is really a sacred vestment, and it was used during mass. we take it off after the mass, and store it on a sacred room called, "Sacristy". its where we put sacred items there. such as the priest's clothing. we also have a bell that is almost similar to kagura bells. we call it as "Sanctus bells" or "altar bells". also a little fun fact: the color red in my religion symbolizes the color of blood and martyrdom. we use it during holy week and feast of the martyrs. and pentecost.
How to be a Miko (Shrine Maiden) at your home? 1. Wear a Miko outfit. 2. Take the broom. 3. Start sweeping/cleaning. 4. While sweeping, imagine that you are cleaning a Shinto Shrine.
Thank you for your comment😊🙏⛩ I've never had the "miko experience", but it seems to involve cleaning the shrine grounds, worshipping tamagushi, and so on🌿 If there is an experience you can do at home, I'll make a video😉👍
Hello, Mico-san! Quick Question: Could you put up a quick video on how to Pronounce "Takamagahara" and if you have time: what it means? All I remember is that it is the Highest Celestial Plane. Is this true? I decided to look up it's pronounciation to see what I get and all I get is a horrible bad American A.I. Voice Over. Quite terrible. I feel that UA-cam and the World needs to know more!
@@taeknngi LOL well, Japanese has mostly flat intonation. But some has intonation like saying Sake, depending on tone, can say Salmon or Alcohol. Is all of this flat intonation then?

Thank you, shrine maidens are very interesting and cool.
I hope I can have a Miko Experience when I go to Japan 🥰
I hope you get to experience it😊🙏⛩

I am a Man, and always wanted to be a Miko :c hahaha
me to its one of my dreams but it dont help I'm a man
I'm male so I doubt I could become a miko. It would be a fun experience though, I bet.
Maybe you can volunteer as an Onshi (deacon)
What's that?
What are some of the activities that can be done in the “Miko Experiences?” Can they be done at home too?
Thank you for your comment😊🙏⛩

If your ears are pierced but you do not wear earrings or jewelry, may you still be a Miko? ありがとうございます ☺️🙏🏼
