What is the difference between a Shinto shrine (jinja) and a Buddhist temple (otera)?

Shrine (jinja) are Shinto facilities, places where nature and deities are worshipped.
On the other hand, temples (otera) are Buddhist facilities where Buddhist statues are enshrined, and practices like meditation and memorial services are held.
A key way to distinguish them is that shrines have torii gates, while temples contain Buddhist statues.
