Find a shrine or temple in Japan
Browse 179,598 recorded entries across Japan’s 47 prefectures. Choose a prefecture, then a municipality.
The controls are in English. Official names, addresses and descriptions supplied by the registry remain in Japanese. Roman-letter reading aids use supplied kana only; names without verified readings are not guessed. Entries with an English introduction on this site link to it. A registry entry does not confirm public access, current opening hours, or the accuracy of a map pin.
