Japan's low arable land reflects that most of the country is uninhabitable forests and mountains, thus decreasing its capacity for population density. However, Japan's arable land to population ratio is many times more favorable than, e.g., China, so the food production aspect of arable land is not the controlling factor. Instead, it is the inhabitability of much of Japan's non-arable land which diminishes Japan's population density.
