Originally, the oldest folk religions of Japan differed from region to region, group to group. Shintõ was later brought to Japan by immigrant Korean settlers around 300 BCE and became the official religion of Japan. Buddhism arrived in the 6th century via Korea and competed with the imperial religion of Shintõ until it won over.
The teachings of Shintõ and Buddhism then became merged until the Meiji restoration in 1868.
Shintõ therefore is the oldest, and recognised as a native Japanese religion. Buddhism was originally from India.
