Making shrines across Japan more accessible and enjoyable for everyone.

Sanpai is a portal site created to help people rediscover the appeal of shrine visits and provide a gateway for first-time visitors to confidently explore shrines.

We carefully organize all information related to shrines—including traditions, history, spiritual benefits, and access methods—to support your journey of "learning, visiting, and experiencing."

Enriching the Shrine Visit Experience

Sanpai was created to support the "shrine visit experience" throughout Japan, making it more accessible and enjoyable for everyone.

We compile shrine history, spiritual benefits, and access information in an easy-to-understand format, designed so first-time visitors can visit with confidence.

Why Shrine Visits Now?

Enriching the spiritual experience

Visiting shrines is not simply about making requests.

It's an opportunity to find peace in quiet spaces, connect with nature, and experience local culture.

By incorporating moments of "prayer" into modern life, we create opportunities to reflect and connect with ourselves.
