What's the difference between Kami and The God ?

Nowadays, Kami are enshrined in Shrine buildings in most cases. In ancient times, however, Kami were invited in a tree or rock considered to be pure and sacred

Jinja is a place where the spirit of Kami (or a deity or deities ), is enshrined, it represents the oldest form of the faith of the Japanese. There are about eighty thousand shrines throughout Japan. The faith related to Jinja is Shinto.
