Description[]
When the spirits move them, mortal men can achieve the miraculous.
This province has a site of religious significance. By developing this site, the spirits of troops recruited here are raised, and their devotion to the old ideals of duty, courage and honour are reinforced. A shrine is not just important because of a building, but because of the place's spirit. People will always appreciate the beauty of the buildings around a shrine, but it is the fundamental sanctity of the place that is important. As long as the kami are respected and honoured, the shrine remains a source of spiritual strength. Many shrines in Japan are now historical monuments as well as revered religious sites, and this means that many have been listed as World Heritage Sites.

Clan Effects
- -1 modernisation
Buddhist temples double the effect of Buddhist shrines, with an even larger discount and increase to charge bonus. Provinces with Buddhist temples are excellent for training melee troops in, particularly traditional melee units.
The effects of buddhist temples stack with those of training camps, creating units that are both significantly cheaper and also superior in combat.
Controlling and upgrading holy site buildings reduces modernisation, keeping development levels low and retaining bonuses associated with training traditional units.
