 Jinja (Shinto) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Unlike a church or a mosque, a jinja traditionally has neither characteristics of a chapel nor a place for propagation; its sole purpose is for the enshrinement and worship of a kami.
It is believed that a jinja had originally been only a temporary shrine constructed for a periodical matsuri at a sacred place such as a mountain or cave.
Other notable jinja facilities are torii that serve as sacred gates for entering a jinja, chōzuya (手水舎) where one may cleanse one's hands and mouth, and shamusho (社務所) that maintain a jinja.

 In Defence of Yasukuni Jinja - the HERETIC   (Site not responding. Last check: )
What most of these critiques ignore is that the Yasukuni Jinja is a commemoration of those who had died in all the wars and conflicts from the Meiji Restoration onward and cannot necessarily, nor specifically, be of those particular wars and atrocities in question.
The Yasukuni Jinja housing the deities of those who had died at the behest of the state is thus twice deified.
For instance, in Chinese culture, the exhumation of bodies for posthumous punishment is not unheard of, whilst the Judaeo-'Christian' tradition views the soul as a carrier of the sins and virtues of their mortal past which, in turn, determines their internment in either a 'hell' or a 'heaven'.

Tagata Jinja is a Shinto shrine in Komaki just north of Nagoya, and as such is just one of many that can be found throughout Japan.
These days the shrine is surrounded by suburbia, but until recently it was surrounded by a forest called "Agata", a name believed to have derived from the name of one of the rulers of the local area during the end of the Yamato period (approx 3rd-5th century AD).
In an agricultural community, the sacred feminine was worshipped, and the rituals that have survived to this day at the Tagata shrine were celebrations of this, conducted in order to ensure bountiful agricultural harvests, regeneration and renewal as well as human birth.
