In Japan, there are two main religions. These main religions are Shintoism and Buddhism. These two Japanease religions compliment each other, therefor most Japanease are both Shintoist AND Buddhist.
Shintoists worship at shrines which are delicate wooden structures often located in the midst of a japanease flower garden. They worship gods similar to how ancient Greeks and Romans worshiped their gods. Nobody knows who was the founder of Shintoism or when exactly it was founded, but it is known that Shintoism is a highly ancient religion.
On the other hand Buddhism is also a very ancient religion. People of the Buddhist religion worship at Buddhist Temmples wich are a bit like, from a Christians point of veiw, a Buddhist church. They worship their god Buddha which is also the founder of their religion. He founded their religion close to, or even over a thousand years ago in approximatly 600BC. Today the oldest Buddist Temple stands in Honshu, built in roughly 500BC. As I have mentioned these religions compliment each other explaining why there is a Shrine vertialy next door to the temple. Who knows maybe it was built around the same time as the temple.
