There is one shrine, Tsubaki Grand Shrine of America, near Seattle Washington. I've heard that there are others outside of Japan, can anyone get more information?
- There are dozens in Hawaii, several in California, one in New York City, several in South America. Basically places where there are Japanese diaspora. Although I do agree there should be a section for Shinto shrines outside of Japan as well.--Mitsukai 14:11, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Shinto Shrines in Hawaii
http://www.e-shrine.org/ <- here is a link to information about Hawaii's Shinto Shrines. I think there is also one shrine in Netherlands. The shrines in Brazil the other guy was talking about are probably from a religion that's based on Shinto. There are really very few shrines that are Shinto proper outside of Japan
[edit] I concur...
I concur with the others - there are several Shinto shrines outside Japan. There is even one in Colorado that is not well known.
I'm a member of the Yahoo group - there is a comprehensive list there, I'll fix this page after my finals (if nobody else hasn't already)....
- Is there a shrine in Los Angeles as well?
[edit] Internationalized
Okay, I've taken the initiative to include the notable Shinto shrines outside Japan (there are some minor ones in Colorado, etc. I've not included). If there's anything I've missed, be sure to add it!
[edit] International shrines now listed
I've added the last batch of shrines to this list from France, Brazil, and more from Hawaii and also added weblinks to many of the shrines in the list. There was a proposal in an code comment that suggested a separate page be created for Inari shrines. I don't think this would be a good idea as it would just create confusion - people know little about Shinto enough and we don't need them thinking that Inari is somehow a different religion.
By the way, the source of my additions was from the Shinto Online Network Association Mailing List ("ShintoML"). Links: [1] and [2]
