At first glance the two look like similar religious buildings, but they actually belong to entirely different religions, and the manners of worship differ as well. Shrines belong to Shintō, Japan's native religion, while temples are facilities of Buddhism — which originated in India and arrived via China.\n::\n\n::heading\n[見た目]{みため:appearance:N4}での[見分け方]{みわけかた:how to tell apart:N4}\n\n#en\nHow to Tell Them Apart by Appearance\n::\n\n::para\n[最も]{もっとも:most:N3}[分かりやすい]{わかりやすい:easy to understand:N5}[違い]{ちがい:difference:N3}は[入口]{いりぐち:entrance:N4}にあります。[神社]{じんじゃ:shrine:N3}には[必ず]{かならず:always:N3}「[鳥居]{とりい:torii gate:N3}」があります。[二]{に:two:N5}[本]{ほん:counter for cylinders:N5}の[柱]{はしら:pillars:N2}と[上部]{じょうぶ:upper part:N3}の[横木]{よこぎ:horizontal beam:N3}からなる[赤い]{あかい:red:N4}（または[木]{き:wood:N5}や[石]{いし:stone:N3}の）[門]{もん:gate:N2}で、[ここから]{ここから:from here}[先]{さき:beyond:N5}は[神様]{かみさま:gods:N3}の[領域]{りょういき:domain:N2}という[境界]{きょうかい:boundary:N2}を[示し]{しめし:to indicate:N3}ます。[一方]{いっぽう:on the other hand:N4}、[寺]{てら:temple:N2}には「[山門]{さんもん:main gate:N2}」という[屋根]{やね:roof:N2}のついた[大きな]{おおきな:large:N5}[門]{もん:gate:N2}があり、[両側]{りょうがわ:both sides:N3}に[仁王像]{におうぞう:Niō guardian statues:N1}が[立つ]{たつ:to stand:N4}ことも[多い]{おおい:often:N4}です。\n\n#en\nThe clearest difference is at the entrance. Shrines always have a \"torii\" — a red (or wood or stone) gate made of two pillars and an upper crossbeam, marking the boundary beyond which lies the gods' domain. Temples, on the other hand, have a \"sanmon\" — a large gate with a roof, often flanked by Niō guardian statues.\n::\n\n::para\n[境内]{けいだい:precincts:N2}に[入った]{はいった:to enter:N5}[後]{あと:after:N5}も[見分ける]{みわける:to distinguish:N5}[ポイント]{ポイント:points}があります。[神社]{じんじゃ:shrine:N3}には[ご神体]{ごしんたい:object of worship:N3}を[祀る]{まつる:to enshrine:N1}「[本殿]{ほんでん:main shrine:N2}」と[参拝者]{さんぱいしゃ:worshippers:N2}が[拝む]{おがむ:to worship:N2}「[拝殿]{はいでん:worship hall:N2}」があり、[本殿]{ほんでん:main shrine:N2}は[一般]{いっぱん:general:N2}[人]{じん:people:N5}は[入れません]{はいれません:cannot enter:N5}。[寺]{てら:temple:N2}には[仏像]{ぶつぞう:Buddhist statues:N2}を[祀る]{まつる:to enshrine:N1}「[本堂]{ほんどう:main hall:N4}」、[供養]{くよう:memorial service:N1}のための「[墓地]{ぼち:cemetery:N1}」が[境内]{けいだい:precincts:N2}に[ある]{ある:to exist}ことも[多い]{おおい:often:N4}です。[墓地]{ぼち:cemetery:N1}は[神社]{じんじゃ:shrine:N3}には[ない]{ない:does not exist}—これも[重要]{じゅうよう:important:N3}な[違い]{ちがい:difference:N3}です。\n\n#en\nThere are also points of distinction once you're inside the precincts. Shrines have a \"honden\" (main sanctuary) where the deity resides and a \"haiden\" (worship hall) where worshippers pray; the honden cannot be entered by ordinary people. Temples have a \"hondō\" (main hall) housing Buddhist statues, and often a cemetery within the precincts. Cemeteries do not exist at shrines — this is another important distinction.\n::\n\n::heading\n[神社]{じんじゃ:shrine:N3}の[参拝]{さんぱい:worship:N2}[作法]{さほう:procedure:N3} — [二礼二拍手一礼]{にれいにはくしゅいちれい:two bows, two claps, one bow:N1}\n\n#en\nShrine Worship — Two Bows, Two Claps, One Bow\n::\n\n::para\n[神社]{じんじゃ:shrine:N3}に[参拝]{さんぱい:worship:N2}する[時]{とき:time:N5}は、[まず]{まず:first}[鳥居]{とりい:torii:N3}の[前]{まえ:before:N5}で[一礼]{いちれい:one bow:N3}します。[参道]{さんどう:approach path:N3}の[中央]{ちゅうおう:center:N2}は[神様]{かみさま:gods:N3}が[通る]{とおる:to pass through:N4}「[正中]{せいちゅう:center line:N4}」とされ、[端]{はし:edge:N1}を[歩く]{あるく:to walk:N4}のが[礼儀]{れいぎ:etiquette:N1}です。[次]{つぎ:next:N3}に「[手水舎]{ちょうずや:purification basin:N1}」で[手]{て:hands:N4}と[口]{くち:mouth:N4}を[清めます]{きよめます:to purify:N2}。[柄杓]{ひしゃく:ladle:N1}で[水]{みず:water:N5}を[すくい]{すくい:to scoop}、[左手]{ひだりて:left hand:N4}→[右手]{みぎて:right hand:N4}→[口]{くち:mouth:N4}（[左手]{ひだりて:left hand:N4}に[水]{みず:water:N5}を[受けて]{うけて:to receive:N3}）→[左手]{ひだりて:left hand:N4}[再度]{さいど:again:N2}→[柄]{え:handle:N1}を[流す]{ながす:to rinse:N3}、という[順番]{じゅんばん:order:N2}です。\n\n#en\nWhen visiting a shrine, first bow once before the torii. The center of the approach path is the \"seichū\" (center line), said to be the path of the gods, so etiquette calls for walking along the edge.

As proof of your worship visit, you receive a stamp written in ink with a red seal. Touring various sites with a dedicated \"goshuin-chō\" book is popular even with young women, and the standard price is about 300–500 yen each.\n::\n\n::heading\nおわりに\n\n#en\nConclusion\n::\n\n::para\n[神社]{じんじゃ:shrines:N3}と[寺]{てら:temples:N2}の[違い]{ちがい:difference:N3}を[知る]{しる:to know:N4}と、[街]{まち:town:N1}を[歩く]{あるく:to walk:N4}[時]{とき:time:N5}の[景色]{けしき:scenery:N3}が[まったく]{まったく:entirely}[違って]{ちがって:to differ:N3}[見えます]{みえます:to look:N5}。[鳥居]{とりい:torii:N3}を[見つけたら]{みつけたら:upon spotting:N5}「ここは[神様]{かみさま:gods:N3}の[領域]{りょういき:domain:N2}」、[山門]{さんもん:main gate:N2}を[見たら]{みたら:upon seeing:N5}「ここは[仏]{ほとけ:Buddha:N2}の[世界]{せかい:world:N4}」と[感じられる]{かんじられる:to be able to feel:N3}ようになります。[正しい]{ただしい:correct:N4}[作法]{さほう:procedure:N3}で[参拝]{さんぱい:worship:N2}すれば、[神様]{かみさま:gods:N3}や[仏様]{ほとけさま:Buddha:N2}に[失礼]{しつれい:rude:N3}にあたることもなく、[心]{こころ:heart:N4}も[落ち着き]{おちつき:to calm down:N3}ます。[日本]{にほん:Japan:N5}に[来た]{きた:came:N5}[際]{さい:occasion:N3}には、[ぜひ]{ぜひ:by all means}[両方]{りょうほう:both:N3}を[訪れて]{おとずれて:to visit:N3}、その[違い]{ちがい:difference:N3}を[肌]{はだ:skin:N2}で[感じて]{かんじて:to feel:N3}みてください。\n\n#en\nOnce you know the difference between shrines and temples, the scenery of any town you walk through looks entirely different. Spot a torii and you'll feel \"this is the gods' domain\"; see a sanmon and you'll feel \"this is the world of the Buddha.\" Worshipping with the proper procedure means you won't be rude to the gods or the Buddha, and your heart will be settled. When you come to Japan, please visit both and feel the difference yourself.\n::\n"]
