Explanation and Etymology - (神社) jinjya
"神社" is a Japanese word that means "Shinto shrine". The word is composed of two Kanji: "神" (kami), which means "god" or "divine spirit", and "社" (yashiro), which means "shrine" or "temple". Shintoism is the native religion of Japan, and Shinto shrines are sacred places where believers can worship the kami and ask for blessings and protection. Shinto shrines are easily recognizable by the presence of a torii, a red gate that marks the entrance of the shrine. The word "神社" has an ancient and complex etymology that dates back to the beginnings of Shintoism and Japanese culture.How to Write in Japanese - (神社) jinjya
