The indigenous religion in Japan is Shinto. Shinto worships natural objects. There is neither written scriptures nor absolute god. In around the 6th century, Buddhism was brought over from China, and spread over Japan. The philosophy of Confucianism also influence Japanese culture.

Today, most people in Japan follow Buddhism. However, people visit Shinto shrine to cerebrate new year and birth of their children, cerebrate Christmas, and hold wedding ceremony in Christian style. The country which follows polytheistic religion, people are quite open to integrate different cultures.
