Shinto, village in Kitagunma District, Gunma Prefecture, Japan
Shinto is a village in the Kitagunma district of Gunma Prefecture, located in the mountainous region north of Tokyo. The settlement features traditional architecture scattered across forested terrain with small agricultural areas.
The village developed over centuries as a small farming community in this mountainous region. It has retained its traditional settlement pattern and rural character through modern times.
The village is best explored on foot, as pathways between houses and fields are narrow and winding. Visitors should prepare for uneven terrain and bring weather-appropriate clothing, especially when exploring the surrounding forests.
