Japanese religion has evolved in its own way -Shinto and Buddhist syncretism
Our original religion, Shinto, believes in nature and eight million gods. Over time, people began to think that Shinto gods and Buddha were the same.
Even today, Japanese people believe that gods of different religions cannot fight or have quarrels.
Shugendo, where you can feel the easygoing religious views of the Japanese people
This time, we would like to introduce you to one of the sacred places of Shugendo, which aims to abandon earthly desires and attain enlightenment through rigorous training deep in the mountains.
