Arrow Shinto outside Japan
Is Shinto practiced anywhere outside of Japan? I was wondering this because it is classified as a major world religion, but it is so strongly based on Ancient Japanese folklore and the like that it would be hard for someone outside of Japan to follow the religion. Does this mean it is only a major world religion because of the huge population of Japan? Or has it spread out across the world?

I don't believe Shinto is original to Japan, but came from other parts of Asia, probably China. There aren't many practicing Shinto anymore...it's pretty much been replaced by Budhism.

I mean't it still is up there with buddhism. Its basically neck and neck with Zen Buddhism in the numbers.
