Shinto shrine
Torii gate destination
A Shinto shrine is a structure in Japan where kami (spirits or gods) are enshrined and worshipped.
Shrines typically feature a torii gate marking the entrance to sacred ground, and visitors perform rituals of purification and prayer.
Distinguished from Buddhist temples, shrines are central to Japan's indigenous religion: We stopped at a small Shinto shrine to make an offering.
