How to ask for it in a taxi
- Show the driver: 祐徳稲荷神社
- Then point and say: ここまでお願いします (koko made onegai shimasu) — "please take me here".
- If asked which area: 鹿島市, 佐賀県.
- On arrival: 領収書をください (ryōshūsho o kudasai) — "please give me a receipt".
Shrine names repeat all over Japan — there are thousands of Hachiman and Tenjin shrines — so the city name on the card matters as much as the shrine name. Large shrines also have more than one gate; a taxi will normally stop at the main approach (表参道).
