- Volcanic eruptions make most of Japan unlivable. (Volcanic eruptions may occur in certain areas but do not make most of Japan unlivable)
- Coastal locations are easier to defend from invasion. (A valid reason as coastal areas provide better visibility and access to the sea for defense purposes)
- Japan relies on the sea for much of its food supply. (A valid reason as Japan is surrounded by oceans and has a strong fishing industry)
