i got married at a Shinto shrine and let me tell you it is not cheap. you have to wear wedding kimono which is rented your fiancee will have to wear Harri Hakim (men's kimono which will also be rented. the service is in Japanese of course and a little difficult Japanese at that. guests introduce themselves to the other guests in Japanese. after the ceremony there is usually a reception which costs lots. forget how much it all cost but several millions of yen. many Japanese are now choosing to marry overseas to avoid the expense of japan. good luck if you want to go for it. you might try Namibia jink where i married, it's not off the beaten track, in fact it's right in the heart of Osaka, but you wouldn't know it once you're inside, it's like an oasis of calm. the priest also spoke some english, but don't know if he's still there.
