Description

Japan is a long thin island, slightly smaller than the state of California. Nearly 75% of the terrain is rugged and mountainous and virtually uninhabitable. Approximately 15% is devoted to agriculture, leaving only about 10% for people to actually live on. Almost 126 million people live in Japan, nearly half the population of the entire United States.

Amazingly long and skinny, there is only 200 miles that extends at the widest point and nearly 1800 miles from north to south. The result is an amazing range of weather conditions, from snow bound winters in the north to sub-tropic summers in the south.

As seen on the map of Japan, there are four main islands which are; Hokkaido, Honshu, Kyushu and Shikoku and over 3900 smaller islands. Mountains, rivers and seas break up the country into hundreds of small regions and micro climates making the land infinitely varied.
