2. Why
Japan? -Many
famous movies
were filmed all
throughout Japan.

3. -You can see Japan is a small island
surrounded by water, but the land
surrounding that is Taiwan at the bottom
working up to North and South Korea and
towards the top there is China and Russia.
This is a close up of
Japan.

4. Climate and Topography map
-Eastern Japan has hot and humid
summers and cold winters with very heavy
snow on the Sea of Japan side and in
mountainous areas. Western Japan has
very hot and humid summers (with
temperatures sometimes reaching 35 oC
or above) and moderate cold winters.
Okinawa and Amami have a subtropical
oceanic climate.

5. Government Structure:
The Government of Japan consists of legislative,
executive and judiciary branches and is based on popular
sovereignty. The Government runs under the framework
established by the Constitution of Japan adopted in 1947.
It is a unitary state, containing forty-seven Administrative
Divisions with the Emperor as its Head of State. His role
is ceremonial and he has no powers related to
Government; instead, it is the Cabinet comprising the
Ministers of State and the prime Minister, that directs and
controls the Government and the civil service. The
Cabinet has the executive power and is formed by the
Prime Minister, who is the Head of Government. The
Prime Minister is nominated by the National
Diet and appointed to office by the Emperor.

4 Main Strengths of Japanese Infrastructure
1 Technologies for Local Needs
Japan applies technology that best meets the needs of each country and region, ensures speedy construction under
restricted conditions and provides technology to address local environmental risks. Our end goal is to contribute to
building economic infrastructure that will serve the people for the long term and to be a part of global infrastructure
development.
2 Co-Creation
Japan is not only committed to the development of hardware but also of human resources for sophisticated operation and
maintenance of the infrastructure. Technological transfer is also conducted for supporting the local people to develop
their own infrastructure. Furthermore, we work side by side with the partner country to help create business in the vicinity
so that we can design and create a future together that will lead to self-reliant economic growth.
3 Long-term Commitment
Japan’s commitment is not just selling products. We are engaged in consistent cooperation extending from infrastructure
development planning to preservation and maintenance. We also offer support for building a system for long-term
infrastructure application services. Bringing together both the public and private sectors, Japan will be involved, both
extensively and profoundly, in the development of our partner countries over a long period of time.
4 Lifecycle Economic Efficiency
We have advanced technology and know-how to realize on-time delivery, as well as high operation rates, low failure
rates, long operating life, low environmental load and high extensibility for cutting down maintenance cost. That is why we
are able to offer you the most economically efficient proposal covering the total lifecycle cost.

14. Main exports
Japan
Exports of high technology products have been the
engine of Japan's economic growth since 1960.
Exports account for around 19 percent of total GDP.
In 2019 exports fell 5.6 percent from the previous
year's record high amid global trade tensions. Main
exports were: transport equipment (24 percent of
total exports), with motor vehicles accounting for 16
percent; machinery (20 percent) on the back of
power generating machine and semi-con machinery;
electrical machinery (17 percent), such as
semiconductors, IC and electrical apparatus;
chemicals (11 percent), mainly plastic materials and
organic chemicals; and manufactured goods (11
percent), such as iron and steel products, nonferrous
metals and manufactures of metals. Japan's main
export partners were the US (20 percent), China (19
percent), the EU (12 percent) in particular Germany
(3 percent), South Korea (7 percent), Taiwan (6
