2022 日本：花手水的來源
手水舍是為參拜者在入內參拜神明前用水淨化身體與心靈，而花手水是因為2019年疫情，因為共用水源的衛生問題而衍生的美觀替代品。
這所神社色彩繽紛，特別是花手水是按季節定期轉換花卉，所以吸引很多人朝聖。打卡是一流的，不過附近沒有特別的景點，如果時間不許可，未必會放在行程之內。不過，了解神社也因應社會情況而有不同措施，也是很有趣呢。
2022 Japan:
Temizuya, which is water pavilion, is for visitor to purify their body and mind with water before standing in front of the deity. Meanwhile, hanachozu, that is flower water pavilion, was emerged because of 2019 pandemic. There was hygienic problem if visitors use the same bowl of water to wash their hands and Japanese think of using flower to decorate the area as substitute.
This shrine is really colorful and the staff would change the flowers regularly when weather changes. This act attracts loads of visitors to visit. Personally speaking, it is best for taking pictures, but there was no other special tourist spots nearby. If time is not allowed, you may not be able to fit in the itinerary. Though, understanding how shrines react to social incidents is a great way to understand Japan.
