The main religious traditions in Japan are Shintō and Buddhism, both of which play important roles in cultural and spiritual life. Shintō is rooted in indigenous beliefs and emphasizes rituals connected to nature and ancestors, while Buddhism was introduced from the Asian mainland. Many people observe practices from both traditions rather than adhering exclusively to one.
