But still here it is something request-basis, and they do not own the owls themselves, so 撮ったりする would be more natural. Using "撮ったりできるのは..にしています = making it a rule that shooting is possible only until ..," sounds the shrine has the complete authority to the matter. E.g. if they close the gate (which usually doesn't exist in small shrines), 撮ったりできる may be possible. | |

| May 20, 2022 at 14:36 | comment | added | user3856370 | Thanks. I had assumed that the sentence referred to the shrine authorities allowing tourists to take pictures. What is it that makes it clear they are talking about themselves? In English, "only until" would be much more common. I can't decide whether "until only" sounds much more formal or just plain weird. | |
