I have a question about the kamidana. I know that virtually all private martial arts dojos in Japan have a kamidana...but I've heard that PUBLIC dojos do not due to laws separating church and state. Is this true? Thank you!

That's true!
By law (established after the World War II), all public bodies must maintain a completely secular profile.
So, the display of any kind of Shinto shrine in a public dojo is prohibited...
