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.
