The landscape is very rugged... in the islands of Japan
They are volcanos that formed around japan
They were all formed at convergent boundaries

It is impossible to build ANYTHING in japan that is not on a geological fault. That is how the islands formed.
undersea volcanoes, Japan lies near the Ring of Fire
Acoording to legend, the islands of Japan were formed by water droplets. The water droplets came from the tip of a god's golden spear. Obviously, this is technically probably not the case, but who knows if legends are true, right? True, thats sounds like an interesting story, but the islands of Japan were formed by volcanic activity
The Japanese islands were mostly formed by volcanoes erupting over centuries. The volcanoes were caused by a lithospheric slab which helped in making Japan's curved (arc) shape.

Japan is a string of volcanic islands which are formed at a convergent-subduction boundary. In this case, the subducted island was the Pacific Plate. When the pacific plate was subducted, the crust heated to form magma and expanded, pushing the Eurasian Plate upwards. This new magma close to the surface began breaking through the surface and forming volcanoes which eventually became islands.
Japan has approxomently 2,865 islands
