Off the northeast coast of Asia, in the North Pacific Ocean, lies the beautiful country of Japan. It is made up of four large islands and thousands of smaller ones. With close to 130 million people living on its islands, Japan is one of the most densely populated countries in the world.

The Japanese call their country Nippon or Nihon, which means “source of the sun”. Japan offers a wide range of attractions. It combines past and future, east and west. Magical ancient temples stand side by side with twenty-first century skyscrapers. The Imperial Palace, the Emperor’s home in Tokyo, is wonderful to visit. It’s also exciting to go to the top of the Tower of Tokyo from where you can see as far as the coast.

Japan is a land of great natural beauty. Dense forests and high mountains cover large areas. Mount Fuji is the highest mountain and a very famous sight. The longest river is the Shinano and Lake Biwa is the largest lake.

The country’s economy is largely dependant on industry and technology. The Japanese are hardworking and clever people. Japan’s currency is Yen. Tokyo is the country’s capital and also the biggest city, followed by Yokohama and Osaka. The official language is Japanese.
