Now Viewing: shrineTag type: General A place of worship of the Shinto religion. Commonly associated visual elements include: torii - the gate shide - paper streamer cut in a zig-zagging fashion shimenawa - straw rope stone_lantern donation_box ema - wooden boards on which people write prayers or wishes omikuji - random fortunes written on strips of paper miko - shrine maidens For tagging purposes: Includes small roadside shrines, e.g.: post #596144, post #561176. Do not use this tag when there are only torii but no shrine buildings, or other evidence to indicate being nearby. Reason: torii may be situated a signigicant distance from the main premises of a shrine, and can also be found in places other than shrines. When unsure of the religion, tag temple instead. When unsure if it is a place of worship at all, consider using other tags such as east_asian_architecture to describe the structure and other elements.
