Does anyone know if it's mentioned anywhere what kind of shrine the Kururugi Shrine is? If not, what kind of shrine would it be? Buddhist or Shinto? Could it be both? I know that many Japanese practice both religions.
Basically, all shrines are of the Shinto religion. As the person above said, Buddhism uses temples.
In the R2 Drama CD, apparent the shrine was built after sealing some scary terrible demon. (which was like Wakamoto) But...that was a completely crack Drama CD so I wouldn't take it too seriously.
As for the place, in the first episode we see that they could see Mount Fuji in the distance. Mt. Fuji is in the Shizuoka prefecture, so it's probably around that area. It might be Tokyo Prefecture, seeing that in R2, Suzaku told Lelouch to come meet there. It can't be too far from the Tokyo Settlement. Plus, Genbu, who was the prime minister, seemed to come (maybe not always but at times at least) and a Prime Minster during war can't have that much time, so it would have had to been in decent traveling distance of Tokyo.
It's definitely not in Kyoto since in the past flashbacks (When itty trio were walking through the dead people) they were apparently told to move to the Kyoto.
I think there might be more info on the Code Geass Novels, but I don't have them so :< That's all I can offer.
