Almost all are Japanese terms. The dictionary can be used in the ordinary way if the Shintō term you want to look up is already in Japanese (e.g. kami rather than ‘deity’) and has a main entry in the dictionary. If, as is very likely, the concept or word you want is in English such as ‘pollution’, ‘children’, ‘shrine’, etc., or perhaps a place-name like ‘Kyōto’ or ‘Akita’ which does not have a main entry, then consult the comprehensive Thematic Index of English and Japanese terms at the end of the Dictionary first.

Tour members ranged in age from 8 to 89 years old. Very heart-warming to see everyone bond with each other from the moment we boarded our Hawaiian Airlines flight. Experienced the natural beauty of Miyajima Island where we overnighted at the incomparable Iwaso Inn. Enjoyed the thrilling rapids of the downstream Hozu river boat ride. And in spite of the rain, we witnessed the glorious Gion Festival “yamaboko” floats. Eating matsuri (festival) food was my favorite! Grilled giant squid, Hokkaido sweet corn-on-the-cob, and Yakitori (grilled chicken) just for starters! Our team has created many new tours for you to enjoy! Look forward to discovering the world with you. Mahalo for your continued support!
