Japan Map

Japan Map sketches in detail the 'Land of the Rising Sun', which is situated in Far East Asia. While Sea of Japan (East Sea) borders the west, to the north there are La Perouse (Soya) Strait and Sea of Okhotsk; to the northeast are the Russia administered Kuril Islands; to the east and south is the Pacific Ocean and to the southwest is the East China Sea.

Four islands – Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu and Shikoku (in the order of decreasing size) – occupy the maximum land area of this nation. Like many other East Asian nations, Westernization has covered the nation almost completely. Hence the juxtaposition of old and the new is characteristic of Japanese life. Nature, however, plays a major role in the life of an average Japanese. Less populated countrysides which have vast expanse of land for agriculture exemplifies this. However, industrialized cities of the Pacific Coast are overpopulated and polluted.

Civilizations at Nara (8th century AD) and at Heian (present day Kyoto) from 9th to 12th centuries AD were followed by military invasions and dominations. Japan again came to the fore by mid-19th century but was devastated by Second World War. However, proving its mettle, the country moved on a fast track on economic revival and growth in the last half-century. Present day Japan is an important trader and exporter of manufactured goods and the nation's currency is increasingly substituting US$ in foreign trade, especially among the rivals of US, viz. Iran in Asia.
