Japan was mostly formed by volcanoes. Apparently it is located on a fault line though.
Yes, volcanoes are present in Japan's waters as Japan is located along the Circum-Pacific belt, or the Pacific Ring of Fire.
Japan's largest volcanoes include Mount Fuji, Mount Aso, Mount Ontake, and Mount Asama. These volcanoes are part of the Ring of Fire and are located on different islands throughout Japan. They are considered some of the most active and iconic volcanoes in the country.

Japan is located on the "ring of fire" which is a ring of volcanoes that fall on the shores around the pacific ocean. Because of all the seismic activity (underground movement) that volcanoes can create, Japan can receive many earthquakes that are started nearby, causing much damage.
According to the Japan Meteorological Agency, there are 108 active volcanoes in Japan. "Active" is defined as any volcano that emits gas and/or has erupted in the last 10,000 years. The JMA is currently monitoring about 30 of them. There are about 36 active volcanoes in Japan. Remember ACTIVE!
Volcanoes have never killed people, although lava has.
There are actually 124.65 volcanoes
Okinawa is not a volcano; it is a Japanese prefecture located in the southern part of Japan. Japan has several volcanoes, but Okinawa itself is not one.
There are 108 active volcanoes in the country of Japan, which represent approximately 10 percent of the world's total. Mount Fuji is Japan's highest mountain and its most famous volcano. It is located just west of Tokyo and it has an elevation of 12,388 feet.You'll recall that the so-called "ring of fire" runs down through Japan, an into the Philippines before turning over toward the Indonesian area. Active volcanoes are found in many places along the ring of fire.
