Japan is surrounded by the three seas, as to the north is the Okhotsk sea and to the west is the japan sea that separates for form the Korean Peninsula and to the southwest is the east china sea. That separates the Ryukyu Islands from the east china sea. And Taiwan to the pacific.
Floods! Floods don't really happen to much, but there was a big one which caused the land to become super moist. Which made it difficult to do Dry Farming. I hope this helped! :)
