Japan- Relative Location
*Relative Location is a place that is found by being using other landmarks or places to find a certain location
<------- Japan is found in the Northern and Eastern hemisphere.
It is bordered by 5 seas; North Pacific Ocean, Sea of Japan, Philippine Sea, East China Sea, and the Okhotsk.
Japan is also east of the Korean Peninsula.
The countries that are by or (almost) next to Japan are Russia, China, North Korea, South Korea, Taiwan (and there are a bit more but these are the main)
Using relative location may take more time than absolute location. Although it is easier to look at nearby countries rather than coordinates
