shinto temple
A Shinto place of prayer, worship, and ceremonial rites, including Shinto shrines.
A Shinto temple is a place for prayer and ceremonial rites in the Shinto religion, primarily in Japan. This usage also covers Shinto shrines, which are centers of reverence or veneration of varying size.
The site is dedicated to Shinto rites and reverence for kami. A shrine can be a small local site or a substantial religious complex.
Japan is the main setting, without being a geographic requirement. Religious dedication establishes the usage rather than the size of the shrine or its English name.
