  Bambooweb: Japan
Japan (日本, Nippon/Nihon, literally "the origin of the sun") is a country in East Asia situated east of the Korean peninsula on the western edge of the Pacific Ocean.
Japan comprises a chain of islands, the largest of which are, from south to north, Kyushu (九州), Shikoku (四国), Honshu (本州, the largest island), and Hokkaido (北海道).
Japan is a temperate region with four distinct seasons, but because of its great length from north to south, its climate varies from region to region: the far north is very cold in the winter, while the far south is subtropical.

Most all of Japan's prefectures are named after their largest cities, and if you say "I'm going to X" this will be by default assumed to mean the city, not the prefecture.
In these cases, a disambiguation page is only needed where the ambiguous name also refers to other places that are geographically separate from the city/region pair.

The Group of Eight (G-8) is the grouping of eight of the world's leading industrialized nations: France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, the United States, (the G-6, 1975), Canada (the G-7, 1976), and Russia (not participating in all events), as well as the European Union.
The hallmark of the G-8 is an annual economic and political summit (G-8 Summit) of the heads of government with international officials, though there are numerous subsidiary meetings and policy research.
The participants agreed to an annual meeting organized under a rotating presidency, forming what was dubbed the Group of Six (G-6) consisting of France, West Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America.

 LINGUIST List 14.996: Lexicon & Figurative Lang, Japan
Workshop on The Lexicon and Figurative Language July 11 2003, Sapporo, Japan http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/~amw/ACLWorkshop.html Post-Conference Workshop as part of ACL 2003 http://www.ec-inc.co.jp/ACL2003/ endorsed by the ACL Special Interest Group on the Lexicon (SIGLEX) http://www.siglex.org Second Call for Papers Workshop Description The problem of word-sense disambiguation is currently one of the central concerns of natural language processing.
The list approach is compatible with WordNet approaches, but puts the approach in conflict with that of the generative lexicon, and so the question is raised as to how much structure is needed in the lexicon in order to cope with figurative language.
We therefore have three different approaches to the lexicon and the problems that figurative language poses for word-sense disambiguation, and the major theme of this workshop is to explore means for tackling these problems, particularly means that could be used in practical NLP applications.
