Japan. About the country. Life in Japan. Attractions

Japan is considered one of the most exotic and mysterious countries in the world. Almost every corner of the country is full of legends, myths and ancient cultures. The special style of construction, which attracts the eyes of a huge number of tourists, also adds to the charm.

Япония расположена в акватории Тихого океана, в Восточной Азии,. Территория “страны восходящего солнца” состоит из четырех главных островов: Хонсю, Кюсю, Хоккайдо и Сикоку. Столица Японии – Токио. Единица валюты – иены, официальный язык – японский.

Japan is almost two-thirds mountainous country, with most of the highest peaks located on Honshu Island. Almost all of Japan's mountains are of volcanic origin. This is why in some of the foothills hot springs gush out of the ground.

Japan has 70 volcanoes, all of which are active.

The Land of the Rising Sun has one of the most developed economies in the world, ranking second, right after the U.S. economy. Today, the country next door is also showing impressive trends; China's economy is in a state of constant growth.

The most developed branch of production is the automotive industry, as well as the development and production of electronic and electrical equipment. A huge contribution to GDP growth comes from tourism, which generates huge profits every year.
