I have heard a lot about Japanese climate, but none of it goes together. I suppose there are several different islands on which the weather would be different. I have also heard that there are earthquakes very frequently in Japan. After asking someone who has been there personally, I learned that the earthquakes do not effect all of the islands so much. Uh, this confused me a bit. I read a bok on Japan that said there are anore than a thousand earthquakes in Japan per year. Is this true? That's more than three a day. Also, can anyone tell me something very accurate about the weather patterns in Japan. I hope to go there one day and I want to be prepared, and comfortable.
