There are dozens of videos on youtube on how terrible Japan’s geography is and the facts presented aren’t wrong. Japan certainly has some geographic challenges, some of its features have even resulted is some pretty terrible tragedies. However, I don’t think these videos provide a fair picture of Japan’s geography. I don’t mean to criticize too harshly, these are usually great videos, and I’m a fan of many of these channels, but I do think that Japan’s geographical benefits are understated.
