It really depends what era you are referring to. The real power of the Shogun was from around the 8th century until 1867 when the then ruling Tokugawa Yoshinobu relinquished control back to the emperor after nearly 1000 years (this became known as the Meiji Resoration).
The emperor was and still is head of state (technically called the "symbol of the state and the unity of the people" since 1947). The shogun on the other hand is the one that really has the power.
The best analogy is the Queen of England and the Prime Minister or the even the current Emperor of Japan and the Prime Minister. One has the posh title but the other gets out of bed at 6am every day and puts in a 18 hour shift!
One would think that an Emperor has more power than a Shogun However, this is incorrect, a Japanese Shogun is a person of military rank and historical title and in most cases, he is the hereditary military dictator of Japan and has more power than an Emperor. He is also the leader of the Samurai. An Emperor is merely a figure head.
The difference is that the Shogun of Japan had most of the power and led the military in the name of the emperor where as the Emperor of Japan stood mainly as a figurehead.
