Traditional industrial areas in Japan

Japan's climate types are temperate monsoon climate and subtropical monsoon climate, which have maritime characteristics.

Distribution of traditional industries: concentrated in the narrow strip along the Pacific coast and the inland sea coast of Seto.

Reasons: Japan is poor in mineral resources, raw materials and fuels needed by traditional industries need to be imported, and products depend on the international market; However, Japan's coastline is tortuous, and there are many harbors along the Pacific coast and the Seto Inland Sea. There are many excellent natural ports and developed maritime traffic. We can import raw materials, fuels and export industrial products by convenient and cheap sea transportation, reduce freight rates and improve economic benefits.
