Reply To: Artificial leg and Japanese shoe removal custom
Hi everyone, I’m trying to find out some information for my customers too at the moment. They can’t remove their shoes, kneel or sit down and will be visiting shrines and temples on part of a cruise tour they have booked through me at Travel Counsellors with a cruise line. The cruise line have simply said that they have to adhere to the customs which doesn’t help us at all. It’s very reassuring to read your comments on here. I would like to put together shrine by shrine, temple by temple what will happen for my customers i.e. a wheelchair will be available, bags to put over their shoes are ok etc etc. I’m checking the internet sites too but it’s not obvious for all places. Can anyone on this forum help with such detail please? Thank you.
