The correct answer is True

Step-by-step explanation:

Shinto is the most traditional religion in Japan as it is believed this religion had been practiced for many centuries in the Japanese territory. The Shinto is based on specific rituals and beliefs on spirits or gods called Kami that are worship through shrines which are structures in which it is believed Kami or gods are. Additionally, the Kami are considered as divine essences that can manifest in natural elements such as trees, rivers or animals and because of this in Shinto nature is the most important element that made Shintoists believe certain natural places and elements are sacred and because of this, shrines should be located in natural settings. Therefore, it can be concluded the statement proposed about Shinto is true.
