The country is made up of a string of islands.
The capital of Japan is Tokyo. The Japanese landscape is made mostly
of mountains and is very rugged. There are many active volcanoes
including Mt. Fugi (Japan's highest mountain), a famous tourist attraction.
The climate in Japan is mostly mild and rainy, therefore, there is plenty
of plant life. Japan is one of the world's most modern and technologically
advanced countries, but at the same time the people keep many of their
cultural traditions. Education is considered very important and most
