Japan has hosted several major international sporting events, including the 1964 Summer Olympics and the 2002 FIFA World Cup.

The Japanese automotive industry has been impacted by global trade tensions and economic uncertainties, with some automakers shifting production to other countries to reduce costs and diversify risks.

The Honda Civic, first introduced in 1972, is one of the most popular and enduring Japanese cars of all time, with over 18 million units sold worldwide.
