Japan lies directly on the edge on a region most geologists call "The Ring of Fire" where most seismic and volcanic activity occur. Earthquakes trigger tsunamis so when there's an enormous earthquake out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, Japan usually gets hit, along with Hawaii.

The Pacific Ring of Fire is actually most of the ocean's coasts - the American as well as Asian.
The earthquakes occur below the continental shelves, so off-shore, but not in mid-ocean.

Japan has experienced several tsunamis throughout its history, but some notable ones include the Tohoku tsunami in 2011, the Sanriku tsunami in 1896, and the Meiji tsunami in 1854. These tsunamis have caused significant damage and loss of life in Japan.
Tsunamis hit Japan regularly due to its location on the Pacific Ring of Fire, but they do not occur every year. Japan has a long history of tsunamis, with major events occurring every few years or decades. The country is well-prepared with early warning systems and evacuation procedures in place.

Yes, in March 2011 there was a significant tsunami as a result of the magnitude 9.0 earthquake on the ocean floor.The term tsunami itself is a Japanese word and with it Japan has the longest recorded history of tsunamis.
195 tsunamis have hit Japan in total
Japan knows they have tsunamis when a valcano erupts or a earthquake happens.
This is because earthquakes and tremors are common in Japan. That triggers tsunamis to occur
cause Japan does sometimes
