An emergency declaration has been issued, and the shrines and temples in Kyoto are also taking measures such as shortening the viewing time.
Of these, at Ninna-ji Temple, a World Heritage Site, a monk posted a guide in the precincts to inform worshipers of the change in time.
At Ninna-ji Temple in Ukyo-ku, Kyoto City, on the morning of the 25th, after the state of emergency was declared, monks posted a notice in the precincts to inform worshipers of shortening the viewing time.
From the 25th to the 11th, Ninna-ji will change the start of the "Goten" visit from 9 am to 10 am and the end from 5 pm to 4 pm.
In addition, the Reihokan, which displays the treasures transmitted to the temple, will be closed.
Takajun Oishi, executive of Ninna-ji Temple, said, "Since the precincts are spacious, I thought that I could spend my time safely. I hope that everyone will be able to spend their time with peace of mind as soon as possible."
In addition, some temples and shrines in Kyoto are taking measures such as shortening the viewing time, while others are still doing so.
In addition, some temples and shrines are considering changing the reception hours of memorial services and Shinto rituals, and we want temples and shrines to check the latest information when visiting or worshiping.
