About

Often referred to as the “Land of the Rising Sun,” Japan is a leading global economy and an island nation located in the Pacific Ocean. Known for its technological advancements and precision engineering, Japan is also home to the highest life expectancy in the world. Due to its mountainous terrain and limited natural resources, the country relies heavily on imported raw materials, which it trades for its world-renowned manufacturing and electronics products. As the world’s largest creditor nation, Japan consistently records a trade surplus and maintains a stable business environment.
