Winter photography in Kamakura: Seeking advice on cultural sensitivities

Hey fellow travelers! I'm an avid photographer heading to Kamakura this winter for its stunning winter illuminations and cultural vibe. I've heard so much about the beauty of the temples and shrines, but I'm a bit anxious about capturing the essence of Japanese culture respectfully. Are there any specific customs or etiquette I should be aware of when taking photos at these sacred sites during the winter season? I want to make sure I blend in with the locals and don't unintentionally offend anyone. Any tips on the best times to visit to avoid crowds and get that perfect shot with ideal lighting? Looking forward to your insights!
