BEFORE EXPLORING JAPAN · Getting to know Japanese culture
Two places you will come across on your trip. A shrine enshrines the kami of Shinto; a temple is a place to face the teachings of Buddhism and the Buddhas. Their entrances and the etiquette for visiting also differ.
A shrine honors Shinto kami; a temple follows Buddhist teachings. Learn how to recognize each place and visit respectfully.
Follow the guidance of each shrine or temple for the actual etiquette.
