The method of prayer before the alter at shrines is quite different from that of Buddhist temples. As part of prayer ritual, worshipers bow twice, clap their hands twice, bow once more and then throw coins into a offertory box. During the rituals people communicate with kami.
Most of Shinto shrines house sacred objects such as mirrors (the symbol of the Sun Goddess), swords and jewel on the altar, where the gods are believed to live, and the objects serve as spirit symbols of the gods.
