Japan is home to the world’s deepest underwater postbox as recognized by Guinness World Records in 2002.  Located in Susami, a fishing town in Wakayama Prefecture, over 32,000 pieces of mail have been posted to the box since it was installed in 1999.  Accessible by diving, senders deposit notes written by oil-based paint marker on water-resistant paper into the mailbox.  The mail is collected every few days and sent on to the recipients.

Located near major tectonic plate boundaries and situated on the Pacific Ring of Fire, Japan is very seismically active with around 1,500 earthquakes each year.  The deadliest earthquake has been the 7.9 magnitude 1923 Great Kantō earthquake, with 105,385 deaths.  The strongest earthquake on record was the 9.0 magnitude 2011 Tōhoku earthquake which resulted in 15,891 deaths.

There are 108 active volcanoes in Japan.  Notably historically active volcanoes include: Asama, Honshu Island’s most active volcano, Aso, Bandai, Fuji, Iwo-Jima, Kikai, Kirishima, Komaga-take, Oshima, Suwanosejima, Tokachi, Yake-dake, and Usu.   Both Unzen (elev. 1,500 m) and Sakura-jima (elev. 1,117 m), which lies near the densely populated city of Kagoshima, have been deemed Decade Volcanoes by the International Association of Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth’s Interior.  Mount Fuji, the highest mountain in Japan is an active volcano.

A flight to Tokyo takes a  8 hours flight from Singapore, 13 hours from London/England, 12.5 hours from New York/USA.

Geography
Location
Japan consists of several thousands of islands, of which Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu and Shikoku are the four largest. Japan's closest neighbors are Korea, Russia and China. The Sea of Japan separates the Asian continent from the Japanese archipelago.

Area
Japan's area is comparable to that of Germany or California. Japan's northernmost islands are located on a similar geographical latitude as Milan or Portland, while her southernmost islands are on a similar latitude as the Bahamas. More than 50% of the country is mountainous and covered by forests. Japan is politically structured into 8 regions and 47 prefectures.

Population
The population of Japan is about 125,000,000, including approximately two million foreign residents. More than half of the non Japanese population is of Korean descent.

Earthquakes and Volcanoes
Because Japan is located in a region, where several continental plates meet, the country experiences frequent earthquakes. For the same reason, there are many volcanoes and natural hot springs in Japan. Japan's most famous volcano and highest mountain is Mt.Fuji.

Climate
Due to the large North-South extension of the country, the climate varies strongly in different regions. The climate in most of the major cities, including Tokyo, is temperate to subtropic and consists of four seasons. The winter is mild and the summer is hot and humid. There is a rainy season in early summer, and typhoons hit parts of the country every year during late summer. The climate of the northern island of Hokkaido and the Sea of Japan coast is colder, and snow falls in large amounts. In Okinawa, on the other hand, the mean temperature of January is a warm 17 degrees Celsius.
