Japan is an island country in East Asia that borders the Sea of Japan and the Pacific. It consists of nearly 7,000 islands with five main islands: Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu, and Okinawa. It is the eleventh most populous country in the world and because three-fourths of the country’s terrain is mountainous the population of 126 Mio concentrates on narrow coastal plains, especially the Greater Tokyo Area with more than 37 million residents.

Today, Japan is a member of numerous international institutions, including the United Nations, the OECD, and the G7. Following World War II, the country experienced decades of record economic growth, becoming the world’s second-largest economy by 1990. Japan is a leader in the automotive and electronics industries and has made significant contributions to contemporary science and technology, notably in the field of robotics.
