Japanese writing system was based off the Chinese writing system, and their two "alphabets" Hiragana and Katakana are heavily corrupted fragments of Chinese characters. They do use Kanji, which is Chinese characters used for indication.
However, the two languages are linguistically different.

∙ 8y agoNo. While both japanese and Chinese culture may have similar properties they are very different. This is because Japan was an isolated Island while China is inland (and ofcourse there is the obvious fact that they are two different countrys thus also two different cultures)and was not as isolated at Japan was.At any case I hope this helps.

Why are some Japanese characters the same as Chinese characters?
Many Asian cultures were influenced by China. Japan is no exception. Before Japan's introduction to Chinese, they had no writing system. So Japan eventually adapted, as well as changed, the Chinese language, which explains why many Chinese characters are still used in the Japanese language. Also, a section of the modern Japanese language called 'kanji' consists of Chinese characters. == ==
