Yes. About 80 million Japanese people do.

Additional answer:
When I was an exchange student in Japan I went fairly often to Shinto shrines and went through some of the motions. ("When in Rome", you know.) I guess you could say I was practicing it. I found it to have much more appeal to me than most religions.

Some of my family enjoy the tradition.
Shinto is, very basically, a mythical history of how Japan was created.

Do I like it?
Mostly, yes, I do.

A lot of folks practice Shinto. Shinto is about how you live your life rather than about preparation for the whatever might come after. For more information, here's a link to a shrine located in Washington:
