Meaning
The outline of the main Japanese islands, a long curved chain drawn in a single colour. It stands for Japan as a country and as a travel destination.
Use it for Japan trips, language study, anime and food fandom, or news from Japan: “Two weeks in 🗾 next spring, help me plan”. It is one of very few emoji drawn as the map of a single country. Pair it with 🗻, 🍣 or 🌸.
