The ocean current near Japan is primarily the Kuroshio Current, also known as the Japan Current. This current flows northward along the eastern coast of Japan, bringing warm water from the tropics towards the cooler subarctic waters. The temperature of the Kuroshio Current is generally warm, with temperatures ranging from 68-77 degrees Fahrenheit (20-25 degrees Celsius). However, during the winter months, cooler air temperatures can cause some cooling of the current. In terms of direction, the Kuroshio Current flows from south to north along the eastern coast of Japan.
