Japan is basically exactly the same as it is in the movies only instead of monsters it has natural disasters.

 

You're almost there but, uh, those monsters are an embodiment of what were originally human made disasters.

yes, but the mythology behind the movie reflects Japanese origin myths, themselves based upon the devastation of natural physical movements/reshaping of islands, etc. etc.

This is why the kaiju films came about. It was allegorical to all the many natural disasters, metaphorical monsters, that have happened in Japan over the years civilization has existed there. Knowing is half the battle.
