Do any temples or palaces in Japan have a dress code?

Upvote:8

No, there are no dress codes at temples or shrines. The Japanese attitude to religion is very relaxed... and simultaneously strict, as entry to anything even vaguely holy is generally entirely prohibited.

That said, the prevailing Japanese opinion is that men's shorts above the knee are for elementary school students and the beach, although nobody will find you wearing them offensive, just vaguely ridiculous.

One nice although by no means obligatory gesture on entering a shrine is quickly purify yourself at the water basin (chōzuya). The standard ritual is as follows:

Dip ladle in water with left hand, pour water over right hand.
Dip ladle in water with right hand, pour water over left hand.
Cup left hand, pour water in, rinse mouth and spit out (onto ground)
