How do I know if my CR-V was built in Japan?

I'm considering purchasing a Honda CR-V, but I'm particularly interested in models that were built in Japan due to their reputation for quality. Could you please guide me through the steps I should take to verify the manufacturing origin of the CR-V? Should I check the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)? Are there specific characters in the VIN that indicate Japan as the manufacturing location? Are there any other identifiers on the vehicle or paperwork that could confirm this? Your insights would be greatly appreciated in my quest to make an informed decision.
