The correct reading is しんとう. Both 神 (god) and 道 (way) are read with their On'yomi, specific to this proper noun. 道 is read トウ, not ドウ, which is common for streets. かんとう or じんとう misread 神. This term refers to the indigenous religion of Japan, centered on the worship of kami (deities) and ancestral spirits, with emphasis on purity, natural beauty, and communal harmony.
正しい読みは「しんとう」です。「神」と「道」はそれぞれ音読みで、この固有名詞の特定の読み方です。「道」は「ドウ」ではなく「トウ」と読みます。誤読の「かんとう」「じんとう」は「神」を誤っています。日本の民族宗教で、自然や祖先の神々(八百万の神)を信仰し、清らかさや共生を重んじます。
