The area of the country of Japan is 145,898 miles2 (377,873 km²). The area of the United States is 3,794,100 miles2 (9,826,675 km²). This means that the U.S. is approximately 10 times larger than Japan.

To put it another way, Japan is about the same size as the US state of Montana. It would rank 5th among US states.

Japan is roughly the size of Montana.

Area in square miles:

California: ~ 164k

Montana: ~ 147k

Japan: ~ 145k

N. Mexico: ~ 122k

...

Nebraska: ~ 77k - FYI Nebraska is a terrible answer. It is about half the size of Japan

So, the answer is Montana, but people are more familiar with California. Also, Japan and California are vertically oriented, which might make for an easier comparison.

Japan covers about the same area as Montana, the fourth-largest U.S. state by area, with about the same population as the six most populated U.S. states combined, giving Japan a population density roughly that of Rhode Island, the second-most densely populated U.S. state.
Montana is the state closest in size to Japan.
