I'm going to a friend's Shichi-Go-San next week. What should I know?
How wonderful! For Shichi-Go-San, you'll visit the shrine where the family will have a brief prayer ceremony. Dress smartly (business casual is fine for guests). You can bring a small gift — a congratulatory envelope (goshugi) with ¥5,000-10,000 is common. During the ceremony, follow the family's lead for bowing. It's a joyful occasion, so enjoy celebrating the children!

Why not just use ChatGPT?

Generic AI doesn't know which shrine you're standing at. We do — and our content is supervised by Shinto experts.
