The closest neighbor to Japan is actually Russia. You can swim across from Wakkanai (the northernmost part of Hokkaido) to Sakhalin.
The 2nd closest is Taiwan, where is just a stone's throw away from the southernmost part of Okinawa as the map shows.
The 3rd closest is Hawaii. Despite having geographically a little long distance, many Japanese residents have lived in Hawaii for centuries. Hawaii has always been a spiritual neighbor to Japan sharing special borders with each other in the Pacific Ocean.
It's only Koreans to think the Korean peninsula borders Japan. For Japan, Korea is just one of those other countries in Asia.
THE CONCLUSION: JAPAN's neighbors: Russia, Taiwan, Hawaii SOUTH KOREA's neighbor: Only North Korea
While North Korea shares borders with 3 countries (2 comrades, 1 enemy) South Korea's border is limited to only their north equivalent, who gave them a big rejection. This is the very reason why South Korea always wants attention from Japan. They are coping with solitude.

>The 3rd closest is Hawaii. Despite having geographically a little long distance, many Japanese residents have lived in Hawaii for centuries. Hawaii has always been a spiritual neighbor to Japan sharing special borders with each other in the Pacific Ocean. That isn't how it works.

You should replace Hawaii with USA. Since Japan is still under American control, it's closest neighbor should be USA.
