Japan:
Climate: The
climate of Japan is predominantly temperate, but varies
greatly from north to south. Japan's geographical
features divide it into six principal climatic zones:
Hokkaido, Sea of Japan, Central Highland, Seto Inland
Sea, Pacific Ocean, and Ryukyu Islands. The northernmost
zone, Hokkaido, has a temperate climate with long, cold
winters and cool summers.
Language: More than
99 percent of the population speaks Japanese as their
first language.[2] It is an agglutinative language
distinguished by a system of honorifics reflecting the
hierarchical nature of Japanese society, with verb forms
and particular vocabulary indicating the relative status
of speaker and listener. Currency: The yen is the official national
currency of Japan, and is denoted by JPY. The Meiji
government introduced the yen to replace the previous
complex system of the Edo Period, where there was no
fixed exchange rate between the various coins used.
Visas: Population: Japan's
2009 total population was 127.51 million. This ranked
tenth in the world and made up 1.9 percent of the
world's total. Japan's population density measured 343
persons per square kilometer in 2005, ranking fifth
among countries with a population of 10 million or more. Capital City: Map: Flag: Universities: Colleges: click here Schools: click here Image Gallery: click here Stamps:
