the native religion of japan is?

Answer 1

Shintoism

Answer 2

The first religion of Japan is the folk or animistic religion of Shinto. Shinto is the religion of the emperor and he and a few other people are buried according to it's customs, but by and large Shinto is the religion of happy holidays and happy life events. Buddhism was introduced into Japan by the Chinese and is mainly the religion dealing with the death of people in Japan. As it is practiced in Japan it is mainly a form of ancestor worship. Historically Buddhism played a big political role preceding and through the unification of Japan under the Tokugawas. Japan is also influenced philosophically by Confucianism and to a lesser extent Taoism, also from China. Christianity first got a foothold in Japan through the Catholic missionary Francis Xavier. Then it more or less lost that foothold until after the black ships came and opened Japan during the reign of the Emperor Meiji. Christians are still rather scarce on the ground, but certain elements of Christianity have begun to affect Japan in the realms of showing practical compassion to those less fortunate and volunteerism. I could go on, but I'll stop there.

Answer 3

The native religion of the people we think of as Japanese is Shinto.

The native religion of the original people of japan was native animism and a zoomorphic cult of the brown bear by the people currently called the Ainu, who are mostly confined to the northern island of Hokkaido.

In ancient times Korea was composed of three kingdoms each speaking a distinct language. The northern kingdom conquered the whole of the Korean peninsula not long after an agricultural revolution boosted the population. This same population boost led some of the southernmost kingdom's inhabitants to colonize the islands of japan. After the northern kingdom conquered the other two it imposed it's language and culture eradicating the mother tongue of modern Japanese.

Shinto. Japanese also "practice" budddhism, but shinto would be their "native religion". Of course, most Japanese people rightly don't believe in either shinto or buddhism, but they simply go to the temples at the proper times "just in case".
