Shrine and temple

Do you know  a difference from Shinto shrine and temple?
There are a lot of Shinto shrines and temples in Japan.
A Shinto shrine and a temple have different religion.
A Shinto shrine has Shintoism , a temple has Buddhism.
The origin of Shintoism began in Japan , and shrine has  " a Torii ".

This is  a Torii in Isejinguu, very famous shrine. Usually,Japanese go there in New Year and play for happiness.

It is a gateway to a Shinto shirine and people think God come to Torii.
And the origin of Buddhism began in China or India.

This is Kinkakuji. It is made of gold, very beautiful.


Kiyomizudera also very beautiful.

I recommend that you go to there in fall, because trees begin to change color.

So awesome.
