🇯🇵How the world sees Japan

Japan is an island country in East Asia. Japanese is the main language spoken, and the country is made up of four large islands—Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu—along with many smaller islands. Much of the country is mountainous, and hot springs and volcanoes can be found in many regions. The four seasons are distinct, and Japan is well known for its cherry blossoms and autumn foliage. Both its contemporary pop culture, including anime and manga, and its traditional culture, including Japanese cuisine, are widely known around the world.
