Why Shintoism and Buddhism coexist as Japan's two major religions How is this possible?
As strange as it seems not every religion is at odds with every other religion. A good example are the Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity and islam) where some proponents seem to be anxious to "overcome" the other two. Even without the division between religions as us and them there is also a sectarian schism in many religions where groups like Catholics and Protestants or Sunni and Shi'a are always at odds.Members of Abrahamic faiths probably see that as normal and view the coexistence of Buddhism and Shintoism as abnormal.
It also could be that the japanese are generally secular with religious "members" being the counting of people as belonging to religions that their ancestors belonged to, not what they actually practice.

Is it possible for religions to peacefully coexist with each other?
Yes, it's entirely possible from each individual to another, but not all want it that way for their own reasons, which normally are due to them wanting all to agree with them, not realizing that can't be so.Also, some believe it can't be resolved peacefully because showing hostility towards someone who doesn't believe how they do is the only way, to them, for a person to show how faithful they are to their beliefs.
