Japan, a beautiful and wonderful country made up of more than 6,800 islands and located in East Asia in the Pacific Ocean which lies off the coast of Russia and to the east of People’s Republic of China, North Korea, South Korea and Taiwan in the south. The area of Japan is 377,873kilometersquare which is slightly smaller than the size of California(United States of America). Japans’ main islands are Hokkaido, Shikoku, Honshu and Kyushu and several thousand more islands which form a string of islands to the east of Asia extending 1,300 miles between the Sea of Japan and the western Pacific Ocean and they are often known as the Japanese Archipelago.
There are over 126,475,664miliion people that are currently living in Japan. The society is very homogeneous due to closed borders to foreigners. The official language of Japan is Japanese and uses four different writing systems that are Kanji(Chinese characters), Hiragana(phonetic alphabet for native words), Katakana(phonetic alphabet for foreign words), and lastly, Romaji(western alphabet used to write Japanese). Shinto which is known as “the way of Gods”, is the Japanese major religion and is as old as Japan itself alongside Buddhism. Christianity has a very little percentage in Japan together with other races in the world.
