Japan is also known as the Land of the Rising Sun.
This name originates from Japan's geographical location east of China. From the Chinese perspective, the sun appears to rise from the direction of Japan. The Japanese themselves refer to their country as "Nippon" or "Nihon," which literally translates to "source of the sun." This meaning is loosely translated into English as "Land of the Rising Sun," capturing the essence of Japan as the place where the sun originates.
