Why Japanese commentary changes the day
English signs at temples are short. A licensed Japanese guide can explain offerings (canang sari), which courtyards are off-limits, and how holy-spring purification works before you join the queue — useful for parents, first-timers, and anyone who prefers Japanese over English. Broader temple guide: Bali temples with a guide.
