Becoming a Shintō Priest or Priestess
Titles - Roles of Men & Women Serving Shrines
To work officially as a priest in modern Japan, individuals must pass examinations given by the Association of Shintō Shrines (Jinja Honchō 神社本庁) -- these tests are open to both men and women who want to become Shintō priests. But until modern times, there was no standardized certification or qualification system.
