"Kinjiro Cafe" in the precincts of Hotoku Ninomiya Shrine ( Odawara City , Kanagawa Prefecture )

A shrine cafe (Jinja cafe (神社カフェ, Jinja Kafe)) refers to a cafe in the precincts of a shrine (either permanent or temporary), or a facility that integrates a Shinto shrine and a cafe .[1]

Summary[edit]

It is often pointed out that shrines have deep ties with regions and communities, and community facilities such as public halls are often built adjacent to shrines  . Under such circumstances, there is a form in which a shrine and a café facility are installed side by side, and such a café is called a 'jinja café'.[2]

In Japan, worshiping at shrines and temples is often recognized as a culture and custom rather than an act of faith. From these customs, it seems natural to set up a cafe at a shrine.  .[2]

Shrine cafes come in many forms. When rebuilding or expanding the facilities of a shrine, there are cases where a café facility is set up next to the shrine. In addition, there are cases where a shrine that was originally outside was moved into a café to provide healing services, etc., and cases where promotion of community activities and mutual aid in childcare are provided within the precincts of the shrine. They are collectively called "Shrine Cafe".[2]
