  1. The first place to begin any country study is the CIA World Fact Book. It has all the statistics, a brief history, industrial info and demographics. It's on line.

    Then, for more indepth information, you can Google "Japan" and add "History", "Customs", "Geography" or whatever you need.

    This is NOT something appropriate for Y!A. This is YOUR research.


  2. Wikipedia is a magical thing.

  3. Japan is known as an island country in East Asia. Located in the Pacific Ocean, it lies to the east of China, Korea and Russia, stretching from the Sea of Okhotsk in the north to the East China Sea in the south. The characters that make up Japan's name mean "sun-origin", which is why Japan is sometimes identified as the "Land of the Rising Sun".Japan comprises over 3,000 islands, the largest of which are Honshū, Hokkaidō, Kyūshū and Shikoku, together accounting for 97% of its land area. Most of the islands are mountainous, many volcanic; for example, Japan’s highest peak, Mount Fuji, is a volcano. Japan has the world's tenth largest population, with about 128 million people. The Greater Tokyo Area, which includes the capital city of Tokyo and several surrounding prefectures, is the largest metropolitan area in the world, with over 30 million residents.

    Archaeological research indicates that people from Korea, China and other nearby areas were living on the islands of Japan since the Upper Paleolithic period. The first written mention of Japan begins with brief appearances in Chinese history texts from the first century AD.Influence from the outside world followed by long periods of isolation has characterized Japan's history. Since adopting its constitution in 1947, Japan has maintained a unitary constitutional monarchy with an emperor and an elected parliament, the Diet.A major economic power, Japan has the world's second largest economy by nominal GDP. It is a member of the United Nations, G8, G4, OECD and APEC, with the world's fifth largest defense budget. It is also the world's fourth largest exporter and sixth largest importer and a world leader in technology and machinery.

  4. Go to Wikipedia and search Japan!

  5. Okinawa was the birth place of karate and they make really good terriyaki steak and chicken! Hope this helps

    They also learned the hard way in 1941 that attacking the United States is a bad idea
