Whats on Japan?
This map will give you an idea of what kind of minerals the land provides for its inhabitants.
As you can see there is copper, iron ore, lead and zinc which are the main resources produced on the island. This can be used for numerous things for making materials needed.

Climate of Japan
- The weather in Japan varies from region to region because of the wide range of latitude. The summers tend to be very humid and the winters seem to be cold. The most rainfall happens between June and July. In Okinawa rainy season usually starts in early May. And the average rainfall is around 70 inches each year. Japans seasons are similar to the United States seasons, the winter months are December, January and February, Spring months are March, April and May, Summer months are June and July, and Autumn Months are September, October and November And in other regions like I said earlier can go through June and July. August to October is the peak typhoon season in Japan

population data and analysis
On the graph above it shows that the population estimated in 2015 will be roughly 126,068,000 and as you can see on the grapg and the bottom in about 30 years after that the population rate will have dropped to about 111,365,000. The death rate will soon surpass the birth rates to make the population decrease.
Death vs Birth rate
As you can see to the side, the birth rate has made a dramatic plunge in the last 50 years, which more than likely would have something to do with the expense oh actually caring for a child. The death rate looks like its starting to increase again which is now crossing over the birth rate being higher.
- Population per City
As you can see Tokyo is the largest city in Japan home to over 8 million people. For being such a small island Japan is home to many people in fact, about 128 million people in 2012. This number actually dropped 210,000 from the year before. For some reason Japan is seeing a slight decline of people. 8 years ago the population 127,767,994. As you look at the figure below it shows a map of the density of parts on Japan, darker being the more populated areas.
Settlement of Japan:
Japan was originally connected to Korea and Siberia by a land bridge so that is how the first settlers got onto which is now known as the Japanese Island. These people seemed to be nomadic hunter gatherers that roamed the land in the pre-historic times, which was about 10,000 years ago.(Sasaki, na). People probably saw the perfect opportunity for great fishing which means good food intake for them and their families. In the third century people started to settle and build agriculture communities to soon call their home. There were still nomadic hunter gatherers but they were located in the northern Honshu (Sasaki, na).
Around the 7th century Japan was starting to follow the Chinese imperial state by having emperors. As time passed the power decreased in the hands on the Emperors and increased in the shoguns. This soon changed when the Mongol invasions of 1272 and 1282 took place. 50 years later the Ashikakaga clan overthrew the Minimato to put in place a new Shogun. (Travel Souk, 2009).
These new Shoguns(Tokugawa Shoguns) started changing the society in Japan. They brought peace to the country which allowed some development through economic and ciliv but they also gone away with guns, limited contact with foreign countries and only allowed contact with the Dutch and the Chinese traders, and they pushed Christianity out of the country as well (Travel Souk, 2009). The Japanese people were not happy about these changes the Shogun had made.
Later on Japan finally started to develop economic power. In 1894 Japan defeated China over the trade rights and then took control on Korea in 1904, they also beat Russia(Sasaki, na). With them doing this, it made them very powerful in the East. The First World War seemed to give Japan an economical boom because of all the supplies they provided to their allies. This brought Japan out of the Great Depression thankfully.
Now Japan is allied with America for the fight against communism and they allowed the US to build US military bases on their islands (Travel Souk, 2009). Japan seems to be ranking in one of the world's richest and advanced countries in our world today, though they struggled in their history they made it to the top eventually!
