Japan is a magmatic island arc, and involves the subduction of oceanic crust containing volatiles (water and other fluids) below continental crust. This lowers the melting point of the rock and causes melting, giving you magma to form your volcanoes. Have a look for the sangabawa and ryoku paired metamorphic belts for a bit more advanced reading.
