The convergent boundaries are areas where the lithosphere of the oceanic plate moves under the continental plate. As it sinks, the parts of the plate melt in the mantle so the temperature under the continental plate increases. The magma of higher temperature rises up and breaks through to the surface causing volcanic eruptions. These areas are places where tectonic plates disappear.
Since the Japanese coastline is full of volcanic mountains, it points the boundary in that area is convergent.
