The last shogun of Japan, Tokugawa Yoshinobu, resigned in 1867. His resignation marked the end of the Tokugawa shogunate, which had ruled Japan for over 250 years. This event paved the way for the Meiji Restoration in 1868, leading to the modernization and centralization of Japan.
The Tokugawa Shogunate was the rule of Tokugawa Ieyasu and his successors in Japan, which started in A.D.1603 and lasted in a 250-year period of stability to Japan. The Emperor and his family became political figureheads while the real military power lay with the Shogunate rulers.

The samurai as a distinct social class began to emerge in Japan during the late Heian period, around the 10th century. Their role became more defined with the establishment of the Kamakura shogunate in 1192, which marked the start of feudalism in Japan. As warriors and retainers to the nobility, the samurai developed their own code of conduct, known as bushido, over the following centuries.

Shintoism begun in the year 500 BC in Japan. Shintoism had no specific founder but it eventually became the official religion of Japan.
From 794-1185 AD _____ This is not even remotely correct. The samurai class existed from roughly 1192-1873. Although exact dates (or even years) are impossible to give due to the fact that it was a slow decline over several years, 1873 is the year that samurai became Shizoku (士族), losing some of their traditional rights (killing commoners for disrespect, etc).
Tokugawa Ieyasu, through years of war and political maneuvering, eventually was able to get the emperor to make him Shogun of Japan sometime just after 1600. This was a shogunate that lasted from 1600 to 1868 (the year it officially ended), and was the actual ruling office of the country, as the emperor was just a figurehead.
