I've heard so much about Japan . Is it a beautiful country ?   Not everyone thinks Japan is beautiful , but to me its beauty is breathtaking.You feel the same way about France , don't you ?   Yes , I do feel the same way about France . The swift rivers , the fertile valleys , the large cities-its scenery is beautiful . Will you describe the geography of Japan ?   Well , it's made up of four large islands and many smaller islands located off the coast of the Asian main lands . France isn't an island , is it ?   Oh , no , France isn't an island . It is located in the western part of the European continent . But France does have many fine harbors and port cities on its southern and western coasts . Does Japan have good harbors ?
