I live near Izumo Taisha, It is a pretty amazing place. I highly recommend it at new years.

I don't think 'becoming shinto' is that easy, because as far as i know, it's bound to certain places. You have to be at a Kami's place to feel it's power, I guess.

Edit: What an old thread - sorry didn't get that.
