Japan, literally "the origin of the sun", is a country in East Asia situated on a chain of islands east of the Asian continent on the western edge of the Pacific Ocean. The largest of these islands are, from north to south, Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu. A number of smaller islands immediately surround these four, as well as one outlying group of small islands well to the south in Okinawa. (Description by Wikipedia.org)
