Why is it not as widely spread as Buddhism, when they are so similar?

It is very different from Buddhism in ceremony, behaviour and lesson, etc
And there is no Budda and statue in Shinto. There is only a mirror.
The roots is based on the history of nation-building of Japan, little different in the meaning of religion.
Actually it is for Japanese and for the people who love nature (you don't need to believe in Japanese God. Nature is God as itself.).
I remember this Shinto shrine in the US.

My gf practices it in South Carolina.
Shinto is much more culturally specific to Japan than Buddhism. Certain things about Buddhism have a wider appeal than Shinto, for most.
