It is not.

Japan is "the Land of the Rising Sun" and Norway is "the Land of the Midnight Sun." Areas in Norway are far enough north that, during the summer, the Sun is still in the sky late into the night. Places north of the Arctic Circle can have one or more days with no night at all (24 hours of daylight).

In the north of Norway above the Arctic Circle, because of the tilt of the Earth, the sun never sets and hence you have the 'midnight sun'.
