Not close. I learned a year or so of Japanese at school as the 2nd foreign language. I would say Japanese grammar seems a little more complicated than Chinese, but maybe I am Chinese native speaker, so do not realize how complicated the Chinese grammar.<g>

Japanese characters: before 1950s, more than 60 percent of them were Chinese characters (Japanese language were from China originally). Now perhaps less than 5 percent. but even the modern Japanese characters are looked like partial Chinese characters. There are still some words in Japanese sounding similar as Chinese, for example, Library in Japanese sounds like Chinese. or Fuji mountain, that "mountain" part in Japanese is exactly sounds like Chinese.
