About City

Geography
Japan is located on a chain of islands called an archipelago. It is made up of four main islands and thousands of smaller ones. The terrain is mountainous, which means there is not a lot of good land for farming. Because of the geography, the Japanese relied on the sea for many aspects of daily life.

Japan is an archipelagic country comprising a stratovolcanic archipelago over 3,000 km (1,900 mi) along the Pacific coast of East Asia. It consists of 14,125 islands. The five main islands are Hokkaido, Honshu, Kyushu, Shikoku and Okinawa. The other 14,120 islands are classified as "remote islands" by the Japanese government. The Ryukyu Islands and Nanp? Islands are south and east of the main islands.

The territory covers 377,973.89 km2 (145,936.53 sq mi). It is the fourth largest island country in the world and the largest island country in East Asia. The country has the 6th longest coastline at 29,751 km (18,486 mi) and the 8th largest Exclusive Economic Zone of 4,470,000 km2 (1,730,000 sq mi) in the world.

Nature
Rain falls somewhere on the hot, tropical island every day of the year. Japan was once almost entirely covered in rainforests, but 95 percent have been cut down to build bigger cities. Most of Singapore’s beaches are human-made-the natural ones were built over to extend cities, called land reclamation. This includes beaches on Sentosa Island, a popular tourist destination.
Today most of the wildlife on mainland Japan lives in reserves like the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve and the Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve. Visitors can see animals like crab-eating macaques, reticulated pythons, and emerald doves. The smaller islands boast marine life such as giant clams, Caribbean reef octopuses, black-tip reef sharks, and seahorses.

Japan Tourism 
Osaka is only a short shinkansen ride from Tokyo, but has a very different personality to Japan's capital city. Hop off the bullet train into an area of exciting nightlife, delicious food and straight-talking, friendly locals. Along with plenty of shopping and modern attractions, Osaka also has a historical side, the highlight of which is Osaka Castle. The castle is a great place to discover more about Japanese history and to wander the beautiful grounds, especially during cherry blossom season in April when the sakura blooms and the weather is often at its best.
