Question

why sun rises first in Japan ​

Answer 1

Nippon appeared in history only at the end of the 7th century. ... Around this time, the Japanese who had studied Chinese came to dislike the name Wa and changed it to Nippon. According to the words of the Japanese envoy himself, that name was chosen because the country was so close to where the sun rises

Answer 2

Answer:

An awesome tradition in Japan is "hatsuhinode," or viewing the first sunrise of the New Year. According to both Shinto belief and Buddhist tradition, Toshigami—the god of the new year, harvests and the spirits of ancestors—arrives when the sun rises on New Year's Day.
