Can you tell about the economy in Japan? 
 Sure! Japan has the third largest national economy after the United States and China. In terms of purchasing power, it is the fourth largest. 
 That is good to know. Is the cost of living High? 
 I'm sorry but I don't have that information. I can tell you that Japan is the third largest producer of automobiles and home to Toyota, the largest automobile company. Japan also provided 15% of the total global fish catch and is second only to China. 
 Awesome. What about the military. in Japan? 
 Japan's military is operated by the Ministry of Defense. It has three different arms: The Japan Ground Self-Defense Force, the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force, and the Japan Air Self-Defense Force. An interesting fact is that their constitution limits their military and does not allow them to declare war or use military forces in international disputes. That would account for the name Self-Defense. 
 Thanks. Are there many US MILITARY there? 
 I don't have a number, but I can tell you that the US and Japan have maintained close relations in both the economy and in defense since World War II. There is a belief that Japan needs to contribute more actively to the peace and stability of the worldwide community by coordinating its efforts with other nations including the United States. 
 is Japan surrounded by water? 
 Yes, it is. The country is made up of a group of islands. The Pacific Ocean is to its east, and the Sea of Japan is to the west. 
 What is the main language in Japan? I know they speak Japanese, but is that the primary language? 
 That's a very good question but unfortunately I don't have the answer to it. In the 16th century, Portuguese traders and Jesuit missionaries arrived in Japan and began commercial and cultural interactions between Japan and the West. I'm sure they also contributed to the development of languages spoken there. 
 Thank you for your wealth of information. 
 You're very welcome!
