Map of Japan
Japan is in East Asia. Its capital is Tokyo, and other cities on our maps include Osaka, Yokohama and Nagoya. About 123 million people lived in Japan in 2025, according to the World Bank.
At the top of this page are a political map with the capital and major cities, a blank outline, a map of its prefectures, a physical map of rivers, lakes and mountains and a locator map showing where it is. Each one downloads free as a PNG image, an SVG file or a printable PDF. Further down you’ll find a blank outline map with a labelled reference page, a reference map of its prefectures, a quiz on the prefectures, a city location quiz and a latitude and longitude worksheet. The learning pack puts them together in one PDF.
