Japan is located in the Pacific volcanic earthquake zone, with frequent volcanic activities, which has brought great troubles to the lives of local people. There are more than 160 volcanoes in China, of which more than 50 are active volcanoes, which is a famous earthquake zone in the world. Therefore, it is called the country of volcanic earthquakes. Mount Fuji is the highest mountain in China, with an altitude of 3776 meters. Japan is deeply influenced by Kuroshio, pro-tide and other ocean currents, with obvious maritime climate and small annual temperature difference. Most of Japan's territory has a temperate climate. However, because Japan's islands extend from southwest to northeast for a long time, and the north and south span about 20 degrees latitude, there are still great differences in climate throughout the country, which can be divided into six climate zones, namely: Hokkaido climate: Hokkaido is not affected by plum rains, and the rainfall is less than other parts of Japan. Summer is short and cool; Winter is long and cold. Japan's coastal climate: the range is the western coastal area of Honshu Island. Winter is controlled by Siberian high, and the northwest wind blows. At the same time, because the warm current in winter brings a lot of water vapor to the horse current passing through the Sea of Japan, it often snows heavily. There is less precipitation in summer, and sometimes there is abnormal high temperature due to foehn. Central plateau climate: typical inland climate. It is cold in winter and cool in summer. There is a great temperature difference between winter and summer and day and night. There is little rainfall.

The lowest recorded temperature is -4 1 degree, which was 10+degree measured in Asahikawa, Hokkaido on October 25th. rice. In the volcanic distribution area, with beautiful scenery and rich hot spring resources, it has become a famous tourist attraction.
