Japan

The total land area is 377835 square kilometres, of which approximately 75% to 80% is mountain [31] and almost equal parts are covered by forests.


Question: What year is Haruki Murakami born?

Japan

[32] As much of the country's territory is unsuitable for use by settlement, agriculture or industry due to steep elevation differences, climate and landslide risk from earthquakes, low-lying coastal areas of Japan have a very high population density.


Question: What year is Haruki Murakami born?

Japan

The country is one of the most densely populated in the world.


Question: What year is Haruki Murakami born?

Japan

Japan has a total of 29,751 kilometers of coastline.

Japan

In total, there are about 160 volcanoes in the region, a third of which are active.


Question: What year is Haruki Murakami born?

Japan

[32] Japan is constantly experiencing small earthquakes and larger, destructive earthquakes several times a century.


Question: What year is Haruki Murakami born?

Japan

Earthquakes often lead to tsunamis.


Question: What year is Haruki Murakami born?

Japan

Severe earthquakes in recent history include the Kōbe earthquake in 1995, the Chūetsu earthquake in 2004, and the Tōhoku earthquake in 2011.


Question: What year is Haruki Murakami born?

Japan

Climate Japan is mainly located in the temperate zone, and the country has four seasons and five if the rainy season is counted.


Question: What year is Haruki Murakami born?

Japan

However, due to the length and variable topography of the Japanese archipelago, the country's climate is very diverse.


Question: What year is Haruki Murakami born?

Japan

In the north, winters are long and snow can fall abundantly, while in the southernmost islands the climate is already subtropical.


Question: What year is Haruki Murakami born?

Japan

In winter, a cold, dry wind blows from Siberia into the Sea of Japan and when faced with a warm air mass from the Pacific brings heavy snowfalls to the country's west coast.


Question: What year is Haruki Murakami born?

Japan

In summer, a humid wind blowing from the Pacific Ocean brings warm air to Japan.


Question: What year is Haruki Murakami born?

Japan

In late summer and early autumn, tropical low pressures in the equatorial region generate typhoons that often bring heavy rainfall.


Question: What year is Haruki Murakami born?

Japan

[34] [35] The country can be divided into six differing climatic zones: Hokkaidō: Japan's northernmost island has a cold-winter, but otherwise temperate warm-summer climate.


Question: What year is Haruki Murakami born?

Japan

The winters correspond in temperature to those of the southern coast of Finland and are approximately equal in length.


Question: What year is Haruki Murakami born?

Japan

However, spring and autumn are shorter than in southern Finland, and in Hokkaidō the summer lasts up to 5—5.5 months.


Question: What year is Haruki Murakami born?

Japan

The warmest month is August, when there are abundant heats, and the average daily temperature of about 20 degrees.


Question: What year is Haruki Murakami born?

Japan

The average temperature for the year is 7—9 degrees Celsius.


Question: What year is Haruki Murakami born?

Japan

Rainfall is relatively high, and due to seasonal winds, most of the rain is received towards the end of the year and at the very beginning of the year.


Question: What year is Haruki Murakami born?

Japan

Short winters correspond to Denmark or the Netherlands in average temperatures, and snow usually melts within days after it rains.


Question: What year is Haruki Murakami born?

Japan

However, summers are hot compared to Europe.

Japan

Seto Inland Sea: The mountains of the Chūgoku and Shikoku regions protect the islands of Shikoku and Kyūshō from winter cold and humid seasonal winds.


Question: What year is Haruki Murakami born?

Japan

This allows the winters to be relatively warm, almost equivalent to winter temperatures in the Mediterranean.

Question: What year is Haruki Murakami born?

Japan

In winter, temperatures move around 5 degrees during the day, zero at night.


Question: What year is Haruki Murakami born?

Japan

Winters are dry, as westerly winds acting as seasonal winds do little to bring moisture across the mountain range from the west.

Japan

[41] Vegetation and fauna The length of the Japanese archipelago has led to a diverse vegetation and fauna like the climate.


Question: What year is Haruki Murakami born?

Japan

About 4500 native plant species live in Japan.


Question: What year is Haruki Murakami born?

Japan

The large number of species has been particularly affected by large variation in temperatures and high rainfall.


Question: What year is Haruki Murakami born?

Japan

The vegetation of Japan can be divided into five zones: a subtropical zone on the southernmost islands, a warm area of evergreen deciduous forests in the southern parts of the main islands, a cool area of hardwood forests in the northern part of Honshō and the south of Hokkaidō, the subalpine zone in central and northern Hokkaidō, and alpine zone in the mountainous regions of Honshūn and Hokkaidō.


Question: What year is Haruki Murakami born?

Japan

The vegetation of the subtropical region has links with the species of the Malaka Peninsula, while the vegetation of the central parts of the country rather to Korea and China.


Question: What year is Haruki Murakami born?

Japan

Over the course of a rich hundred years, Japan's plant variety has changed greatly not only due to urbanization, but also because of alien species introduced by humans from Europe and North America: an estimated 200—500 plant species have been introduced into the country since the Meiji period.


Question: What year is Haruki Murakami born?

Japan

[34] [42] The fauna of Japan consists largely of temperate zone species that arrived from China and Korea, but also subtropical and Siberian subarctic species from Southeast Asia.


Question: What year is Haruki Murakami born?

Japan

Because during its prehistory, the Japanese archipelago has been alternately separated from and alternately connected to mainland Asia, the migration history of animal species to the region is complex.


Question: What year is Haruki Murakami born?

Japan

Some endemic species live in Japan, such as the Japanese macaque and the Japanese giant salamander; the Ryūkyō Islands species, in turn, includes some “living fossils” such as those found in the iriomotenk.


Question: What year is Haruki Murakami born?

Japan

Despite the dense settlement, large land mammals live in the mountainous regions of Japan in relative numbers.


Question: What year is Haruki Murakami born?

Japan

They include bears, wild boars, raccoon dogs, foxes and deer, among others.


Question: What year is Haruki Murakami born?

Japan

About 600 bird species live on the territory of Japan; the country lies on a major bird migration route.


Question: What year is Haruki Murakami born?

Japan

The country's rich marine species, which includes porpoises, whales and dolphins in addition to numerous species of fish and crustaceans, owes much to meeting the cold and warm ocean currents in the surrounding areas of Japan.

Territorial division Japan is commonly divided into territories which, however, have no administrative significance.


Question: What year is Haruki Murakami born?

Japan

The largest and most populous island, Honshū is usually divided into five or more regions, which are from north to south Tōhoku, Kantō (includes Tokyo), Chūbu (the portion of the Sea of Japan forms the Hokuriku Region and the Pacific coast Tōkai Region), Kansai (includes Osaka and Kyoto), and Chūgoku.


Question: What year is Haruki Murakami born?

Japan

The other islands, Hokkaidō, Shikoku, Kyūshū, and Okinawa, form their own territories.


Question: What year is Haruki Murakami born?

Japan

Administratively, Japan is divided into 47 prefectures, for which their own governor and unicameral parliament are elected for four years at a time.


Question: What year is Haruki Murakami born?

Japan

[44] There are four different types of prefectures which, however, do not differ administratively: one “metropolis” (— Tokyo), one “route” (— Hokkaidō), two urban prefectures (— Osaka and Kyoto), and 43 ordinary prefectures ().


Question: What year is Haruki Murakami born?

Japan

These are often referred to by the term todōfuken ().


Question: What year is Haruki Murakami born?

Japan

The prefectures are further subdivided into cities () and districts ().


Question: What year is Haruki Murakami born?

Japan

Each district is divided in turn into merchant (or machi) and villages (or mura).


Question: What year is Haruki Murakami born?

Japan

Hokkaidō is an exceptional case, as it is divided between the prefectural and urban level into 14 sub-prefectures ().


Question: What year is Haruki Murakami born?

Japan

A few other prefectures also have sub-prefectures.


Question: What year is Haruki Murakami born?

Japan

Like prefectures, municipalities (major cities, towns, villages) in Japan have an elected local government (mayor and council).


Question: What year is Haruki Murakami born?

Japan

Tokyo is a special case, as the city has a separate governor-led metropolitan government and is divided into 23 enclaves administered by its own council and mayor.


Question: What year is Haruki Murakami born?

Japan

[44] Also outside Tokyo, large cities are divided into segregated or sub-districts (), which, however, do not have their own local government.

Japan

In addition, Japan has 17 major “official major cities” () with above-average power.


Question: What year is Haruki Murakami born?

Japan

Question: What year is Haruki Murakami born?

Japan

The process will reduce administrative units smaller than prefectures and is hoped to cut costs for local governments.


Question: What year is Haruki Murakami born?

Japan

[45] Although Japan is a unitary state, local government still enjoys comparatively much autonomy in many areas.

From the beginning, the rulers of the Meiji period advocated a market economy and adopted free corporate capitalism from Britain and North America.


Question: What year is Haruki Murakami born?

Japan

The change was welcomed positively by a private sector full of aggressive entrepreneurs.


Question: What year is Haruki Murakami born?

Japan

[49] The rapid economic growth of Japan, which lasted from the 1960s to the 1980s, has been referred to as an “economic miracle”: in the 1960s the economy grew at around 10% a year, 5% in the 1970s and 4% in the 1980s.


Question: What year is Haruki Murakami born?

Japan

In the 1990s, Japan's bubble economic crisis led to a depression.


Question: What year is Haruki Murakami born?

Japan

The state of the economy did not improve in the following decade and in 2000-2001 it was worsened by the global recession.


Question: What year is Haruki Murakami born?

Japan

[33] The influence of state government began to be reduced and after 2005 the economy began to show signs of recovery.
