Describing a shrine, just not a Shinto shrine?


皆さんこんばんは！

Been trying to translate bits and pieces of one of my short stories into
Japanese. Having decided that it would be fun to translate one of my more
Japanese themed ones.

One problem I've encountered is this, my story is a fantasy tale in which a
Greek-like pantheon of gods are worshipped at shrines, however I've been
having trouble in picking a word to describe said shrines with, as Japanese
has a lot, and a lot of them exclusively refer to Shinto.

Just wondering what a good word to use would be.




This might be your best bet. But it hold the meaning of temple a little bit
more than shrine.

> 神殿

If not good enough, then maybe you could go with.

> 宮
