Where is Japan? How is Japan unique?
Geography
Located on the eastside of Eurasia continent, Japan archipelago is sandwiched between Sea of Japan and Pacific Ocean. From north to south, it stretches 3500km in length and consists of three big islands of Hokkaido, Honshu, Kyushu, and many other small islands. Tokyo, the capital and economic center of Japan is located in Honshu on 35°41′in latitude. Influence from the easterlies and the sea currents different in temperature, and volcanic activities have been molding the unique geography of Japan.
Ocean
Japan has been blessed with marine product. It is due to four different sea currents. From south, Japan and Tsushima currents bring warm seawater up north, and from north Liman and Kuril currents bring cold but nutrient-rich seawater down south. Where cold and warm seawater merge together it makes the finest fishery site in the world.In fact, such favorable condition for fishes to flourish cannot be found anywhere else except Japan.
Lay of Land
Japan does not have large open plain area for people to cultivate and live. Over 60% of its area is mountainous and forested. Japanese have been utilizing this small portion of arable lands by blending their lives into mountains. Traditional farming village or Sato-Yama sits alongside valley in the mountains. Life in Sato-Yama is recycling oriented and mutually supportive. Today, Japanese population reaches approximately one hundred and twenty seven million, and most of them live in westernized modern plain areas which amount to only 25 % of the country, and that makes population density much higher.
