the Philippines and the Pacific plates border Japan
Asia and Japan
Because they are on plate boundaries
Japan is under three tectonic plates
Some cities on tectonic plate boundaries include Tokyo, Japan (Pacific Plate), San Francisco, USA (Pacific Plate), Istanbul, Turkey (Anatolian Plate), and Mexico City, Mexico (North American Plate). These cities are at risk of earthquakes and other seismic activities due to their proximity to tectonic plate boundaries.
Japan
the three types of plate boundaries are : -convergent plate boundaries -divergent plate boundaries -transformed plate boundaries

Close to the plate boundaries. The ring of fire is one of these. :)
Most earthquakes occur on plate boundaries such as Japan and Chile and most volcanoes occur in diverging plate boundaries like Dallol and Iceland and the Pacific Ring of Fire like Ecuador and Indonesia
a plate boundary there are constructive plate boundaries, destructive plate boundaries, conservative plate boundaries and collision plate boundaries
California and Japan are both on tectonic plate boundaries, so when those boundaries move it causes massive earthquake, which is why you hear about it on the news all the time :)
Because it's very close to the Japan Trench, a fault line caused by the Pacific Plate pushing under the Eurasian Plate.
