Japan is closer to the equator. Although both countries are centered around 40° north latitude, Japan's southern island of Kyūshū extends to 31° N, and the Ryukyu Islands are even closer, at 24° to 28° north.

Spain (except for its overseas territories and possessions) does not extend below 36° N.

That really depends on what you call "close". Most of Japan is closer to the equator

than my house near Chicago is, but none of it is as close to the equator as all of

the Philippines is.

The southernmost point of Japanese territory appears to be located at latitude 24.055°N.

That's about 1,660 miles north of the equator, and all the rest of the country is farther

from it. Personally, I would not describe that as 'close'.
