- Summary:
- Explore the influence of religion on Japan over the centuries. Learn about Shinto, Japan's indigenous religion, which is still practiced but serves mainly as a source of traditional customs and festivals. It has slightly more followers than Buddhism, which was brought to Japan via China and Korea in the fifth and sixth centuries AD. While there are few Christians in Japan, Christianity has had a strong impact on the country, including its system of education and lifestyle. Uniquely, there is also a huge number of cults in Japan. Today, there is no state religion in Japan, and the constitution guarantees complete religious freedom. Learn more.
