How do Japan get earthquake?
The tectonic plates near it rubbed against each other.
Countries located near or on the tectonic plates?
All countries are located on tectonic plates - in fact the world is entirely covered with tectonic plates! Where different plates interact with each other the results can affect the countries locally. Where plates push together you can get volcanoes and earthquakes (an example is Japan.) Where plates pull apart there is usually lots of ocean but you can get some calm volcanism, (an example being Iceland.) Where plates rub past one another there can be earthquakes. An example would be the west coast of the USA and the San Andreas Fault.)

Was Japan's earthquake a shear fault?
The magnitude 9.0 Tohoku earthquake on March 11, 2011, which occurred near the northeast coast of Honshu, Japan, resulted from thrust faulting on or near the subduction zone plate boundary between the Pacific and North America plates.
Why did this earthquake hit japan in 2011?
Because the the pacific plate and Eurasian plates where stuck near japan and built up pressure along that fault line and eventually the pressure released and caused the earthquake to happen.
