The bell tower of a Japanese temple
This building is the bell tower of a Japanese temple. This kind of building is mainly used to house large temple bronze bells and is used to call the time, gather monks for religious ceremonies and ring on special occasions such as the New Year. This modern common bell tower is usually open on four sides, without walls, so that the bell can travel far away. It is in a traditional East Asian architectural style, with a sloping tile roof and a wooden frame structure. In ancient times, bells were sometimes used as fire alarms or military communication signals in addition to religious uses.
Japanese traditional architecture
A traditional Japanese style building with typical deep eaves, dark tile roof and simple white wall wood structure. The roof is typically built into the mother house (corresponding to the top of the mountain in China), but its slope is relatively gentle and the eaves are far-reaching, which is a common practice of traditional Japanese wooden buildings to prevent rain and shade. The roof is covered with dark (perhaps dark blue or navy blue) tiles, and the overall tone is darker than the gray of the previous picture. The building sits on a high stone bench with a wide stone step in front. There appears to be a wooden corridor or slope on the left, possibly to connect to other buildings or as a barrier-free access.
Japanese Shrine
Shinto shrines are social houses that worship and honor various deities in Shintoism, and are the oldest type of religious architecture in Japan. Due to the close connection between Shintoism and the daily life of the Japanese people, shrines are very common. Since the 7th century, shrines have implemented a "replacement" system, which means they are rebuilt every few decades. Shinto shrines generally do not have incense offerings, whether it is a traditional tradition or a modern evolution. When people go to a shrine, they usually first clean their hands with a long handled wooden spoon by the pool in front of the shrine, then go to the shrine worship halls on both sides of the ridge, throw some change into the donation box with wooden bars, pat their hands a few times, and pray together.
