Japan has two main religions, Shinto and Buddhism. During World War II, State Shinto was promoted. It had fascist elements. This was dismantled by the United States. Currently the United States has much influence in Japan--promoting capitalism, for example. The current government is a constitutional monarchy--the Emperor has very little political power--his leadership is mainly cultural and spiritual.
Currently, Shinto is a collection of traditions honoring ancient gods. It has no particular dogma or creed. It is an expression of the indigenous culture of Japan. Buddhism is more sectarian and organized.
Many Japanese consider themselves both Shinto and Buddhist. Both religions are quite tolerant as they both encompass a wide variety of beliefs.
