1. Where is Japan's industry concentrated? Why?

(1) Japan is short of resources and its coastline is tortuous. Many raw materials and fuels need to be imported, and a large number of products are exported, so the industry is mainly distributed in the Pacific coast with convenient transportation;

(2) As can be seen from the figure, A is Kitakyushu Industrial Zone, B is Seto Inland Sea Industrial Zone, C is Hanshin Industrial Zone, D is Nagoya Industrial Zone and E is Keihin Industrial Zone.

So the answer is: (1) Japanese industry is concentrated in the Pacific coast. The reasons for this distribution are: Japan is short of resources, its coastline is tortuous, many raw materials and fuels need to be imported, and a large number of products need to be exported; (2) Kitakyushu Industrial Zone; Seto Inland Sea Industrial Zone; Hanshin industrial zone; Nagoya industrial zone; Jingbin industrial zone.
