Japan is an East Asian island nation located in the Pacific Ocean, known for a blend of ancient tradition and modern innovation. It consists of an archipelago with four main islands—Honshu, Hokkaido, Shikoku, and Kyushu—and many smaller ones, with the capital being Tokyo. About 70% of Japan's terrain is mountainous, which concentrates its large, urban population on coastal plains and in cities like Yokohama and Osaka. Japan's culture is famous for its art, cuisine, and pop culture, while its economy is highly developed.
