What is the word 'God' when translated from English to Japanese?

Answer 1

kami sama

Answer

Japan doesn't really have their own word for "God," since most of the people are actually Buddhist which doesn't have a God since it's actually a philosophy more than a religion.

Kami (神) would literally mean "spirits, natural forces, essence" in the Shinto faith. Although the word is sometimes translated as "god" or "deity," some Shinto scholars argue that such a translation can cause a misunderstanding of the term.

Kamisama, right?

Answer 2

Tengoku - "Heaven" (japanese dont add an "s" on their words to distinguish if its plural or singular so it can also mean heavens as well)

Kami - "God"

no - "of" or possession of

Kami no Tengoku - God of Heavens

Answer 3

Direct translation of God from English to Japanese would be Kami (神＝かみ）

If you wish for the name of their possessive god, then you will be disappointed. They don't actually have a god. The prime religions that made Japan what it is today would be Shintoism, and Buddhism. After a period of time, there then came Catholicism which influenced a new era in japan which combined all three faiths into their culture.

As far as Shinto and Buddhism, there are Japanese philosophers that had announced that there was a god and a devil, even though that goes against all of those religions. In this case, you can start by looking up Genshin. He was one infamous to these philosophies.

My answer stands at the fact that there IS no God of the Japanese.
