■Shinto is “the act of worshiping fearful beings in certain sacred places out of a sense of awe.” What distinguishes Shinto from other religions is that it is a faith centered on “Matsuri (act of worship).”

■Also, “Matsuri” are held at ”Shrines”, “Iwakura” and “Himorogi.” In other words, Shinto is associated with certain sacred places. While worship of “Amida Buddha” does not necessarily have to be associated with a particular temple enshrining a Buddha statue, but worship of “Amaterasu” is associated with “Ise Jing Shrine”, which is located above the Isuzu River in Ise.
