Japan is located in East Asia and has a varied landscape consisting of mountains, narrow coastal plains, and bodies of water. It experiences earthquakes, tsunamis, and typhoons due to its location along the Pacific Ring of Fire. The climate varies from region to region but includes distinct seasons. The mountainous terrain and natural disasters have shaped Japanese culture and led to a high population density in limited habitable areas.
