Japan
    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 people there know how to read and write.  Two of the religions practiced in Japan are Confucianism and Ancestor Worship.  Tokyo is one of the largest cities in Japan and most of the country's population lives in cities.
