		Apart from the various festivals and events that originate at these shrines and temples, and the celebration of the New Year, visits to the local shrine to seek spiritual guidance for one's life are quite rare.
		And visits to major shrines and temples such as Meiji Jingu in Tokyo, Ise shrine in Mie, Izumo Taisha in Shimane, Kiyomizu temple and Heian shrine in Kyoto, and Kasuga shrine and Todaiji temple are often tourist oriented, rather than for a significant religious reason.
		I think it is fair to say that the day to day philosophies that contemporary Japanese live their lives by are not derived from any inherent deep religious belief.
