A building that was built as a 
shrine. Used in conjunction with amenity=place_of_worship, religion=* and denomination=* where it is in current use.
Buildings tagged with building=shrine are at least large enough to hold a single standing person along with the contents of the shrine, though access might be restricted to just the operator. Many shrines can be much larger.
For gate-like structures(the 'torii' in the front right in the example photo on the right) that indicate sacred places, please do not tag as either barrier=gate or as building=shrine - they are neither. Instead, use man_made=iljumun, man_made=hongsalmun, man_made=faibang, or man_made=torii.
For very small buildings, consider using historic=wayside_shrine, especially if it is situated along a way or thoroughfare, and holds an object of worship (related objects), and is not able to have a person enter, because of it's small size.
