The entrance to the Shinto Ruins is at the [[Ruins of Alph]]. Bringing an {{p|Arceus}} from a Nintendo event here will unlock the new area, but this will only occur if the Arceus is currently the {{player}}'s [[walking Pokémon|partner Pokémon]] and was traded from {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. [[Cynthia]] will be found waiting for the player, and will tell them that Arceus has the ability to create newborn Pokémon. She will escort the player into the ruins and show them an area called the '''Triad Stage''' that is linked to Arceus's power of creation. The player will get a choice to obtain only one of either {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, or {{p|Giratina}} at [[level]] 1, equipped with their respective orbs. Arceus must be the only Pokémon in the player's party for this to occur, and a [[PC]] is inside the cabin near the ruins for the player to use.

The basis of the name of these ruins is currently considered to have two meanings. Firstly, it may refer to the Japanese religion of {{wp|Shinto}}, on which the legend of Dialga, Palkia, and [[Spear Pillar]] is based, and also seems to be a combination of [[Sinnoh|'''シンオウ''' ''Shin'ō'']] and [[Johto|'''ジョウト''' ''Jōto'']], just as [[Tohjo Falls]] is a combination of "Kan'''tō'''" (トー) and "'''Jō'''to" (ジョウ). The background music in this area is an arrangement of themes used in and on [[Mt. Coronet]], indicating a possible connection.

*The name may be a portmanteau of ''[[Sinnoh|Shin'ō]]'' and ''[[Johto|Jōto]]'', as it is a place where the architecture and legends of both regions meet.

*The Shinto Ruins are outside the range of the map, and therefore technically not part of the Ruins of Alph, or the regions of Johto and Kanto. This also indicates a possible connection with Mt. Coronet and the Spear Pillar as depending on where the {{player}} enter Mt. Coronet, the map will say that the {{player}} is on {{rt|207}}, {{rt|208}} or {{rt|211}} instead of in Mt. Coronet or on the Spear Pillar.
