The Shinto religion, which emphasizes the worship of nature and ancestors, is indigenous to Japan and is still practiced by many people today.

Japan has a highly developed public transportation system, including bullet trains (Shinkansen) that can travel up to 320 km/h (200 mph).

Sushi, a dish made with vinegared rice and various fillings such as raw fish or vegetables, is one of the most famous Japanese foods and has become popular around the world.
