I am only posting it here to begin with but please feel free to share it anywhere you like. This guide was not written by myself alone but with the help of Kami-sama and the community. I give my deep thanks to Kami-sama and everyone who helped me write and edit this guide, who contributed towards it, and who guided me through the years. I hope this can help our community and be an accessible resource. Instead of a zip file, I’ve compiled it all in a single PDF you can download Here In addition, this time I’ve also made a convenient online version from this link: For a practical reference, there is a list of shrines overseas, where to receive sacred items, a reading list, and a list of Norito as well.
