V1 A place of worship of the [[Shinto]] religion.

For tagging purposes:

* Includes small roadside shrines, e.g.: post #530511, post #502261.
* [b]Do not use this tag when there are only [[torii]] but no shrine buildings[/b], or other evidence to indicate being nearby. Reason: [[torii]] may be situated a significant 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.
