Question

why the distribution of population not uniform in japan?

Answer 1

This is so as places such as Japan are habitable only around a narrow coastal fringe. Only 5% to 10% of the land can support any significant population. So the actual population density of either Japan  is ten to twenty times the apparent density, i.e., population divided by land area. The population density in 90 to 95 percent of the land is virtually nil.

The distribution of population is not uniform in Japan because they are located close enough to resource required to sustain the population. In the past this included food sources as well as resources such as wood and energy sources. Nowadays since most of these can be important cheaply, the most important factor is a water source.

With regards to Japan, the countries something like 73% mountainous. The towns and cities are located where mountains are not.

The kanto plain is the largest plain, and this is where Tokyo, Yokohama, Kawasaki, Saitama and chinaprefectures are located. Therefore this is also where the majority of the population of Japan lives.
