On almost every account they are different. Buddhism is a philosophy as Shinto is a religion. Buddhism originated in northern India, Shinto in Japan. Shinto has gods, Buddhism is non theistic.Aside from having followers in Japan and generally supporting good behaviour over bad, there isn't a lot of overlap.
