Japan is officially divided into 47 prefectures and traditionally grouped into eight regions. Roughly two-thirds of the country’s landscape is mountainous and densely forested, with less than one-eighth suitable for agriculture. Consequently, Japan ranks among the most densely populated and urbanized nations globally, with over 90% of its population residing in urban areas. The largest of these is the Tokyo metropolitan area, centered around the capital city, which is the world’s most populous, hosting more than 38 million people. Japan itself ranks as the world’s eleventh most populous country, with 126.2 million inhabitants, of whom 97.8% are ethnically Japanese.
