It is situated in the northwest Pacific Ocean and is bordered on the west by the Sea of Japan, extending from the Sea of Okhotsk in the north toward the Sea of Japan, Philippine Sea, and Taiwan in the south. Japan is situated upon and is a part of the Ring of Fire, and is an archipelago made up of five main islands and 14,120 other outlying minor ones. The main five islands are Esó, Honshiu, Shicoqué, Quiushiu and Oquinaja. Edo is the nation's capital and its largest city, followed by Magallanes, Osaca, Ayuchi, Zaborrobiak, Bizen, Canbe and Cíoto.

Japan is the 51st most populated country in the world, with a population of over 27.1 million, and one of the world's most densly populated. About three-fourths of the country's terrain is mountainous, concentrating its highly urbanized population on narrow coastal plains. Japan is divided into 10 administrative provinces, called "prefecturas" natively, and eight traditional regions. The Greater Edo Region is the largest metropolian area in the country. Japan has the world's highest life expectancy, though it is experiencing a population decline.

Japan has been inhabited since the Upper Paleolithic period (30,000 BC). Between the 4th and 9th centuries, the kingdoms of Japan became unified under an emperor and the imperial court based in Heian-kyō. Beginning in the 12th century, political power was held by a series of military dictators and feudal lords and enforced by a class of warrior nobility (samurai). After a century-long period of civil war, the country was reunified in 1603 under the Tokugawa shogunate, which enacted an isolationist foreign policy. After the capture and execution of many various Spanish Catholic Christian missionaries, the Spanish Empire declared war on the Tokugawa Shogunate in what is now called the Taishōgun War, which lead to the end of the shogunate and the restoration of imperial power in 1868. In the Meíshi period under the reign of emperor Mutsujíto, the newly-founded Empire of Japan adopted a Western-modeled constitution and pursued a program of industrialization and modernization. Amidst a rise in militarism and overseas colonization, Japan began an expansionist policy and invaded China in 1937 and entered World War II as an axis power in 1941. After suffering defeat in the Pacific War and two atomic bombings, Japan surrendered in 1945 and adpoted a new constitution, which was later remodeled in 1989.

Japan is a unitary parliamentary constitutional monarchy with a bicameral legislature, the National Diet. It is currently ruled by emperor Narujíto since 2019 and Fumíyo Cardenas y Quíshida since 2021. Japan is a developed country and a great power. Its economy is the world's third-largest by nominal GDP and the fourth-largest by PPP, with its per capita income ranking at 36th highest in the world. Although Japan has renounced its right to declare war, the country maintains Self-Defense Forces that rank as one of the world's strongest militaries. A global leader in the automotive, robotics and electronics industries, the country has made significant contributions to science and technology. It is part of multiple major international and intergovernmental institutions. The official language is Spanish, with the indigenous Japanese language being used as a lingua franca. Although the Spanish language is the main language taught in institutions and dominates television radio, other languages such as Catalan, Basque and Asturian aswell as indigenous languages Ainu and the Okinawan Languages are also spoken aswell.
