Japan is one of the most industrialized nations in the world. Their electronics industry is one of the largest in the world, however there are many things about Japan that have not changed. They are also a group that holds fast to tradition. Religious Ceremonies are very big in Japan. There are three main religions, Shintoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism.
Japanese people accept and adhere to many faiths.
As you can see from the religions that I've just shared, it wouldn't be hard to believe in more than one. Most don't worship the way that Christians do, for example, having Sunday services at a temple or shrine. This makes many westerners think that Japanese people aren't religious. However, Japanese people do flock to the shrine festivals. Though they think of their festivals as acts of worship, an outsider may see it more as a carnival.
