and traditional inns around them. Most Japanese love bathing in Onsen
(hot springs), and many believe that the water can cure certain ailments.
There are many volcanoes around Japan, and therefore many Onsen.

Japanese Castle
 |
Long ago Japan was divided into many small provinces. The lords of each
province fought to take each other’s territory. Castles were built by the
lords to show off their power and control their provinces. They were both
residences and military bases. They were made of wood, but used various
defensive devices for protection.

Japanese religions
 |
Why is Japanese religious orientation eclectic? Japanese indigenous religion,
Shinto, has no founder or written doctrine and places a great emphasis on
ancestor and nature worship. Japanese with no strong religious beliefs
consider religion as traditional customs handed down from ancestors.
This has developed great tolerance for other religions.

Shinto Shrine

There are over eighty thousand Shinto shrines in Japan, and they represent
the oldest architectural style in the country. Shinto is a religion unique to
Japan. Respect for land and nature is its basic premise. Usually there is a
mirror in the case inside each Shrine. This is the symbol of Shrine’s deity.
