Japan is an archipelago (chain of islands) made up of about 3,000 islands. About two thirds of the land is too mountainous for development, so almost all the people live in cities, most of which were built on the country's flat land . The country sometimes experiences natural disasters, such as typhoons (huge storms originating over the ocean) and earthquakes.
Some mountainous areas have been terraced to allow farmers to grow rice and other crops. The climate is good for farming, with rice being the chief crop. About half of Japan's arable land (land able to be farmed) is devoted to growing rice.
Each person in Japan eats more than 150 pounds of fish per year, or around three pounds of fish per week.
