    Japan has a rugged landscape with over four-fifths consisting of mountains and many active and dormant volcanoes including Mount Fuji, its highest at 12,388 feet. Abundant rainfall and mild temperatures throughout the country have enabled a lush vegetation cover and the ability to grow various crops despite the mountainous terrain and generally poor soils. Japan has a large and ethnically homogeneous population heavily concentrated in low-lying areas along the Pacific coast of Honshu.

    The Japanese landscape is rugged, with more than four-fifths of the land surface

    consisting of mountains. There are many active and dormant volcanoes,


    including Mount Fuji (Fuji-san), which, at an elevation of 12,388 feet (3,776
    metres), is Japan’s highest mountain. Abundant precipitation and the generally mild
    temperatures throughout most of the country have produced a lush vegetation cover
    and, despite the mountainous terrain and generally poor soils, have made it possible
    to raise a variety of crops. Japan has a large and, to a great extent,
    ethnically homogeneous population, which is heavily concentrated in the low-lying
    areas along the Pacific coast of Honshu.
