It is quite a surprise to non-Japanese people that Russia is Japan’s geographic neighbour and not China. 

A similar mistake is made about the language. Apart from borrowed writing, kanji, and vocabulary there is no real connection between the two countries and cultures. China is more of an emotionally strong, yet technically distant neighbour. It is more about feelings and perceptions, trade and historical links than factual geographical connections.
