Wikipedia definition
2. Jingū-ji​Until the Meiji period (1868–1912), the Japanese jingū-ji were places of worship composed of a Buddhist temple and of a shrine dedicated to a local kami. These complexes were born when a temple was erected next to a shrine to help its kami with its karmic problems. At the time, kami were thought to be also subjected to karma, and therefore in need of a salvation only Buddhism could provide.
