Japanese have one of the highest because earthquakes happen there frequently. So no Japan does not.
Do earthquakes happen everywhere volcanoes are?
They do occur where volcanoes are, but it is not because of the volcanoes itself. It is because under the earth's surface there are tectonic plates (plates that make up the earth's crust) that shift, and occasionally collide into one another. This is what causes the ground to shake. This shaking is what we interpret as earthquakes.
