Yes, Buddhism and Shinto are the two main religions in Japan. Most Japanese people say they're not religious, because they don't go to the temple or pray often. However, the two religions have influenced into many of Japan's big celebrations. For example, some holidays are New Year festival, the BON festival, and the Japanese tea ceremony.

First, Buddha people are generally called "Buddhists" or "followers of Buddha." They first practiced their religion in India, but it was spread by missionaries to places like China, Japan, Nepal, and all over Southeast Asia as well.
Buddha throughout his life preached the message of Ahimsa (non violence), which is the main theme of Buddhism. Buddhism spread throughout the continent of Asia and is now the state religion of China, Japan.
There is no "Good Luck" Buddha. You may be thinking of the statues of Hotei found in many Chinese establishments (aka the Laughing Buddha or the Laughing Chinaman). He is sometimes looked on as a bringer of prosperity and happiness. He is more properly associated with the Shinto religion of Japan.

the main religion in Japan is Shinto and Buddhism. Buddhism started first in India and then came to Japan after the king of Paekche from Korea sent a buddha statue during the 6th century to Japan, and i am not sure how Shinto started but I think it was there from the start.There was 110million people who belief in Shinto 89 million were followers of buddha and almost 1and a half was christian,by the way the population is japan was 120 million so many people had to belief in more than 1 religion
Shinto, which is the native religion of Japan. But samurai followed teachings of buddha too. After 1500 many japanese converted to Christianity, including samurai.
This was a question that the Buddha explicitly declined to answer. More specifically, the question was, "Does an arahat (the Buddha is a type of arahat) exist or not exist after death?"It is also possible that you are referring to some statue of the Buddha. If so, you should make it clear that you are referring to a statue and not to the Buddha himself.
Japan doesn't even have Christmas. They worship buddha not Jesus.
