shinto? Buddhist?

trying to do some research, behind this gate,... would there be a shrine? (what religion?) or is this just a decorative gate that can be used in front of any residence?

danke! *goes back to storyboarding*

When I went to Japan I did visit an old inn where the emperor's guests would stay at, back when Kyoto used to be the capital.

It was very neat, the place had booby traps and was designed in such a way to protect the guests in there, in case an ambush would overtake them or something. The halls were very narrow to avoid sword fights, and the ceilings were low and awkward. They even had trick stairs!
