Almost 70% to 80% of the country is covered with deep forests and mountains that form wonderful tourist attractions. These areas are however, unsuitable for agricultural, industrial, or residential use. Japan has been rated as the thirtieth most thickly populated country in the world.
Its location on the Pacific Ring of Fire gives Japan regular low-intensity tremors and even volcanic activity at times. Each century witnesses some destructive activities due to this. There are also hot springs, which has resulted into a mushrooming number of resorts and tourist spots around these areas.
Japan enjoys a predominantly temperate climate, which varies greatly from north to south. Its geographical features divide Japan into six principal climatic zones.
