About 73% to 80% of Japan is mountainous and unsuitable for agricultural, industrial or residential use. This has resulted in an extremely high population density in the habitable zones that are mainly located in coastal areas. Furthermore, like most of the Japan (where mountains occupy about 80% of the total land area) wherever alluvial soils and flat plains are found urban development and agriculture compete for the use of the land.
