Shrine is one of the most valuable aspects of Japanese culture. So, if any tourist visits Japan without visiting the shrine, their trip is incomplete.

You may want to learn how to pray.
But before learning the prayer, you should have some ideas about the Japanese Shinto Shrine.
Before arriving at the main shrine, you must pass three Torii gates.
A torii gate is a traditional Japanese gate at the entrance of Shinto shrines. Torii gates separate the shrine from the everyday world and signal to people that it is a “sacred space.”
Torri gates consist of two upright pillars and two horizontal bars. These gates are mostly made of wood or stone and painted bright red with black or natural accents.
