@Mayu36 My Japanese isn’t very good yet, but I’ll try to answer in Japanese and give an equivalent word. Hopefully it makes sense, so here goes:
Superstitionっては日本語で「迷信」と思うします。
As @april166 said, it’s a belief that people have of something that has no proof, but they believe it could bring good or bad luck. For example, I believe the number 4 (四) is considered bad luck in Japan because it shares the same pronunciation as death (死) is some cases.
