Chinju no Mori
In modern times, people think shinto deities are more abstract and don't care much about the forests in Shinto shrines. Some believers don't think they're necessary. Although some shrines are still well-respected, many shrine forests have been cut down to make way for things like road repairs and buildings. This has happened especially in cities, where forests have been completely lost. Some shrines only have torii gates and main shrines, and the importance of nature worship in shrines has decreased. However Meiji Jingu and Tadasu Forest are two highly preserved ones.
