Japan

Japan's topography is dominated by rugged, mountainous terrain, with over four-fifths of its landmass consisting of mountains. The country's volcanic origins contribute to the striking landscape, with towering peaks and active volcanoes, including the iconic Mount Fuji, which rises to 12,388 feet (3,776 meters). The Japanese Alps, which run through Honshu, feature some of the highest peaks in the country, often exceeding 9,800 feet (3,000 meters). Despite the challenging mountainous environment, fertile valleys and coastal plains offer opportunities for agriculture, particularly in low-lying areas along the Pacific coast. The intricate coastline, shaped by steep cliffs, bays, and sandy beaches, further enhances the country's scenic beauty
