A love marriage is like ours in America where a young couple have found "true love" in someone and want to spend the rest of their lives with each other. An arranged marriage is the union of two families. where the male has to be at least 18 or older and the female has to be at least 16. religious ceremonies are preformed in an arranged marriage.
-Religions in Japan-
Japan has two major religions. One is Shinto, Shinto is traditional, and is associated with innumerable gods or spirits. this is performed mostly at a grove, village, waterfall, valley...ect. Buddhism is practice by nearly all of the Japanese. Buddhism didn't arrive at Japan until 650A.D. But these religions do not always play a role in everyday life.
-Greetings from Japan!-
The people in Japan greet each other by bowing. It ranges from a small bow of the head to a clear 90 degree bend at the waist. But to people who are more Superior to them, for say a parent or a teacher, you'd bow lower than the parent or the teacher. To me personally i think it shows sort of a sign of respect
-Japanese food- 
The Japanese eat a variety of sushi, noodles, rice similar to what the Chinese eat. Most of the sushi that they eat Isn't cooked (ewww!) but some of it is. Sushi is just raw fish.
They also eat rice, or sticky rice as they call it. You have to use a special oil to make the rice sticky. It's a mixture of rice wine and white vinegar. They usually combine these separate dishes together for a meal.
