Feeling a touch unlucky these days? Spouse unhappy, clients unresponsive, football team on a losing streak? Fear not. Come to Japan and find a pawaa supotto (power spot) with the potential to make things better.
The Japanese have a sweeping spectrum of spiritual practices. There is Shinto -- both the formal emperor-inspired version and the folk version you see in more remote parts of the country; Buddhism, with its many different and puzzling sects; Christianity, both Catholic and Protestant; Chinese-derived Confucianism and Taoism; and many new religions based on strange syncretic combinations.
