Japan (Japanese: 日本 , Nippon or Nihon,[nb 1] and
formally 日本国 , Nihonkoku) is an island country in
East Asia.
Japan is the eleventh most populous country in
the world, as well as one of the
most densely populated and urbanized.
Population
The population of Japan is estimated at 127
million as of 2014, with a population density of 337
people per sq km. Greater Tokyo Area alone has
over 30 million people, which is more than the
total of Australia’s population, 23 million.
Climate
Japan has four distinct seasons, 四季 (Shiki), and
will show you totally different faces in each season
you visit.
Spring 春 (Haru): March – May, warm and
pleasant weather, the rainfall is the lowest this
time of year.
Summer 夏 (Natsu): June – August, starts with
the rainy season, then a hot and humid Japanese
summer arrives.
Autumn 秋 (Aki): September – November, mild
weather and cool fresh air.
Winter 冬 (Fuyu): December – February, it is
pretty dry with frequent sunny days.
 Language
Japanese ( 日本語 )
People learn English at schools from middle school
(grade 7) to senior school (grade 12), so they have
basic English knowledge. Japan is an ethnically
homogeneous nation, therefore, people do not have
many opportunities to speak in English. However,
when you ask for their help, they will try to speak in
English. Even if they cannot speak in English, they are
still kind and helpful to foreign travellers. Japanese
people are shy, so it is not often that they will
approach you, but when you talk to them, they will be
happy to help or even just talk with you.
English signs are practically everywhere at stations
and on trains, even on road signs too. Information is
announced in both Japanese and English on bullet
trains and most other trains in the major cities. Also
English guidance or explanatory texts can be seen at
the major sightseeing spots and attractions. You might
have some chances to witness Engrish! (I hope it
entertains you!) But, English is not our mother tongue,
so please accept it as just a simple mistake!
