Under the last paragraph in climate it says the highest temperature was 105.6. This recently happened but Japan was just hit with a heat wave so the highest recorded was 106. There is also a Wikipedia page on it if you want to link it (2018 Japan Heat Wave) 71.184.20.50 (talk) 12:46, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
Done. See Special:Diff/852143953. Thanks for catching that!--SkyGazer 512 Oh no, what did I do this time? 23:02, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
First paragraph out of place.
Maybe it is my phone and browser, but I doubt it. Upon opening the article, the first paragraph under the title is one about archaeological evidence. It is not an introduction. This paragraph seems out of place and belongs somewhere near the end of the introduction. Chris.alex.gomez (talk) 23:03, 27 August 2018 (UTC)
replace "loose" with "lose" in Foreign relations section of Politics
"causing many peasants to loose their land." should read "causing many peasants to lose their land." Parsec96 (talk) 17:22, 1 September 2018 (UTC)
FA concern
We have a small problem with some images.....as this is an FA article there are some image problems that should be fix as per our MOS.... random one off galleries instead of images being beside relevant text.... and of course the accessibility concern of Squish text. Should we revert to before the images were placed?--Moxy (talk) 23:00, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
- I've removed some of the excess images. Nikkimaria (talk) 00:25, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
- Great start.. sandwich of text is a serious accessibility concern...only real problem is 2 galleries.....there is room beside the relevant text and they should be moved. Having 2 galleries for subsections gives it undueweight and simply looks out of place considering more important sections don't have them.--Moxy (talk) 00:41, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
- @Moxy: lets build consensus before changing established content. The images have moved to other sections. Either we reduce the images and remove the galleries or keep the images and gallery. I support keeping it as it is. However, the community consensus is paramount to both our views. (Highpeaks35 (talk) 01:09, 4 September 2018 (UTC))

Done all fixed only lost one image that was not mentioned in text anyway. All good....need a bit of sources in other sections....will work on that now....can't loose FA status because of small things.--Moxy (talk) 01:22, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
- @Moxy: Looks like we now have the Great Wave caption twice? Nikkimaria (talk) 02:04, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
- My bad.....fixed. Sorry a bit fustrated.....dealing with image spam in many coutry articles.....last month someone went crazy and add hundreds of images all over the country articles......text sandwich and random out of the blue galleries all over.--Moxy (talk) 02:13, 4 September 2018 (UTC)

Dominant party state?
I’m not sure it’s accurate to call Japan a dominant-party system. A different party held power less than ten years ago, and the LDP isn’t really kept in power through institutional means (formal or informal), but because the opposition genuinely isn’t popular enough to beat them. What do you guys think?Jogarz1921 (talk) 14:36, 14 September 2018 (UTC)
- I agree it should be removed, but for slightly different reasons. They government section is for what form of government they are, and dominant party system is too specific (and as said above) can imply institutional means. Garuda28 (talk) 17:10, 14 September 2018 (UTC)
- Agreed. Dominant party may be how it goes, but that's not actually the governmental system. Canterbury Tail talk 00:53, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
