This is the Asakusa temple in Tokyo where I learned how different religions can actually be! In the Shinto tradition there is no narrative at all, no holy books, no organized collective ritual like mass would be. People go into the temple and there are a number of meaningful activities you can do like washing your hands (purification), burning incense (to connect to the highest places), you can throw a coin into a box, clap and bow (to show respect) get your fortune told by different means like pulling a stick with an inscription out of a cabinet with tons of drawers which reminded me of chinese fortune cookies (divination), writing your wishes in pieces of paper to knot on a holy tree and buying amulets for health, luck or money. There are many figures throughout the temple you can also pray to if you are so inclined but most Japanese people don't actually pray, the temple monks do it for the most part.
