  6. Shinto Shrines • Shinto shrines are dedicated to various kami – the deities of Shinto • All Shinto shrines have a torii gate marking the entrance. They are also built of natural materials – lots of raw wood and natural timbers – and have high peaked gable roofs • Since Shinto is a distinctly Japanese religion, most Shinto shrines are located in Japan. Many are rebuilt many times on the same spot. • Only in recent years have Shinto shrines been built outside of Japan. These shrines are generally associated with a main shrine located in Japan. Those I found images of are notably on the west coast of North America (Washington state, USA and British Columbia, Canada), where many Japanese immigrants have settled. • Hawaii also has several Shinto shrines, and there is also a Shinto shrine in the Netherlands, although I was not able to locate pictures of any of these.
