Which country is known as “Land of Rising sun”

Japan is known as the 'Land of the Rising Sun' because of its geographic position - it's one of the first countries to see the sunrise each day being located in the far east of the Asian continent. The Japanese name for Japan, 'Nihon' or 'Nippon,' literally means 'origin of the sun' or 'sun origin.' This poetic nickname reflects both Japan's actual geographic location east of the Asian mainland and its cultural identity, symbolized by the rising sun on its national flag.
