Yes, Japan's eastern seaboard is paralleled by an ACTIVE plate boundary. Indeed Japan is an island arc, a type of archipelago comprising a chain of volcanoes, with arc-shaped alignment, situated parallel and close to a boundary between two converging tectonic plates. Without the plate boundary there would be no Japan.
