There are also over 3000 smaller islands that make up Japan. Japan is part of Asia which is the world largest continent. Almost 124million people live in Japan. The capital of Japan is Tokyo.
Japan is very small, but it still has mountains, rivers, and coasts. Most of the land there is covered with high mountains. The most famous mountain is called Mount Fuji. Japan is also made up of many rivers. They are usually short and deep. The longest river that Japan has is the Shinano River, it is 228 miles long.
Japan has more than fifty volcanoes. Japan has over 1,500 earthquakes every year. Most of the earthquakes are small, so there's not a lot of damage. The worst one that they had was in 1923. Japan also has typhoons. The typhoons bring strong winds, and a lot of rain. When typhoons hit Japan it usually causes a good amount of damage. Most people who live there have paper walls. That helps keep the amount of damage down by the earthquakes.
Tokyo is not just the capitol of Japan, it is also one of the biggest cities. There are about 12 million people who live and also has jobs in Tokyo. Government, banking, and international trade all take place in the center of Tokyo. In the center of Tokyo is where the Imperial Palace is. The Emperor and its family live there.
