Welcome to the site of Japanese Dutch Shinzen
Foundation, the home of Shinto in Europe.
We aim to introduce the ancient Japanese tradition
of Shinto to the Western world.
Since 1981 we have established a Shintoshrine in
Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
The Dutch shintomaster, or Guji, has studied since
1979 in Yamakage Shinto Shrine Kireigu, Aichi-ken,
Japan where he received - as the first not-Japanese
person - his license to perform shinto-ceremonies.
To learn more about our activities and history,

Dutch..
