When entering inside a Shinto shrine

When entering inside a Shinto shrine, the visitor should perform a symbolic cleansing called temizu. This purification is considered indispensable before visiting the sacred area and it signifies the removal of evil and pollution. For the ritual, every shrine provides an ablution pavilion, usually with a stone basin filled with clear water, with wooden ladles, Kyoto, Japan, Asia
