12. Meditation Space

Earlier in this list, we listed how many Japanese people are Buddhist. However, there are Shinto shrines scattered all over the nation. It is popular to see small "shrine" areas in a Japanese home dedicated to a beloved one who has passed away. Larger homes can also have a full-fledged shrine or a place for yoga and reflection. If you are a spiritual one, you could think about building one of these areas in your home. Hence, you can change it to suit your religion.
