Yes, Japan's eastern seaboard is paralleled by an ACTIVE plate boundary. Indeed Japan is an island arc, a type of archipelago comprising a chain of volcanoes, with arc-shaped alignment, situated parallel and close to a boundary between two converging tectonic plates. Without the plate boundary there would be no Japan.

The boundary is the name of theplace where two tectonic plates meet.
The force that is causing movement at this fault is called tectonic force. These forces are generated by the movement and interaction of the Earth's tectonic plates.

The fault near San Francisco is called the San Andreas Fault. It is a tectonic boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate.
The famous break in the Earth's crust that causes earthquakes to occur is called a fault line. Movement along fault lines can result in earthquakes due to the build-up and release of stress between tectonic plates.
The fault that caused the 1995 Kobe earthquake was the Nojima fault.
