Japons lies on the high granite plateau of the Waldviertel, the forest quarter of Lower Austria, north-west of Vienna, a land of rolling hills, fields, forests and scattered villages, where the climate is harsher and the pace slower than in the Danube valley below. The village is small and quiet, with a church and farms, and the surrounding landscape is open and airy, with long views over the plateau.
