Japan (æ—¥æœ¬ Nihon or Nippon ^? , officially æ—¥æœ¬å›½ Nippon-koku (helpÂ·info) or Nihon-koku) is an island country in East Asia. Located in the Pacific Ocean, it lies to the east of China, Korea and Russia, stretching from the Sea of Okhotsk in the north to the East China Sea in the south. The characters that make up Japan's name mean "sun-origin", which is why Japan is sometimes identified as the "Land of the Rising Sun".
