あ、中は撮影禁止だよ。外からなら大丈夫だけどね。
あ、なかはさつえいきんしだよ。そとからならだいじょうぶだけどね。
Oh, photography is prohibited inside. It's fine if you take them from the outside, though.
Gesture & etiquette
Shake head slightly while pointing to a 'No Photography' sign or gesturing towards the exterior of the hall.
Do not take photos inside prohibited areas, as it may be considered disrespectful to the deity.
