When in Rome...

The following are a few photos taken during the Shinto Blessing. In Japan, there are basically two religions: Buddhism and Shintoism. They live side by side in almost perfect harmony as while one celebrates death & ancestry the other celebrates birth & new life.

Is it the Japanese custom for the men's and women's shoes to be separated at the door? If the answer is affirmative, is it also the custom for other Asian countries as well?

Once again, sorry for the late response!

There is no particular custom in seperating the men's shoes from the women's. My staff just did it that way so that it would be easier for the guests to find their shoes when they left.
