I want landuse=religious to map all the buddhist and shinto temple complexes in Japan. some of them are huge, dotted with individual shrines, temples, sacred waterfalls, and maintained gardens. even small local temples and shrines usually have more than a few things on their location (a few statures, a bell tower, garden, cemetery, and main temple building).
in the past, the shinto and buddhist temples were forced to share ground, so you get shinto stuff next to buddhist stuff in many places (which is why people follow a mix of shinto and buddhist practices in Japan), so it’s nice to have a “this place is religious” landuse, and individual POW for buildings/things that have their own name and religious tag. Shinto is where you get weird stuff, like the married rocks, sacred trees, or the spot with an interesting natural feature that is ”worshipped” - but for the vast majority of the temples and shrines here, they are very similar to a western church grounds in feature party.
