I want to study Russian.
Japan is encircled by China, Taiwan, Korea, and Russia. The Pacific Ocean is located between Japan and the U.S. So, in spite of the long distance between the U.S. and Japan, it can also be considered a neighboring country.
In Japan, many publishers publish materials for English learners. (However, in contrast to the circulation of these materials, we Japanese people aren't confident in our English skills. :) )
Following English, there are many materials for Korean and Chinese learners.
However, it is difficult to find Russian learning materials in bookstores in cities. In order to study Russian, I borrow books from libraries. Even in libraries, there are few Russian books.
Besides reading texts, I often watch videos on YouTube produced by the Japanese wife and Russian husband living in Russia.
Even if you have complex feelings toward neighboring countries, learning their language is not in vain.
Why is there a lack of Russian language learning environment in Japan?
ロシア語を勉強したい。
日本は中国、台湾、韓国そしてロシアと隣接しています。距離こそ離れていますが、太平洋を挟んでアメリカも隣国だと言ってもいいかもしれません。
日本では英語学習本の出版が盛んです（しかし、日本人は英語が苦手ですけどね(笑)）。次いで韓国語、中国語が続きます。
しかし、書店ではロシア語の教材がなかなか見つからず、図書館で本を借りています。ロシア在住日露夫婦のYoutuberでも勉強しています。
隣国に対する好き嫌いはともかく、隣国の言語を学んで損はありません。
なのに、何故日本ではロシア語独学環境が整っていないのでしょうか？

Japan is surrounded by China, Taiwan, Korea, and Russia.
I think "encircle" has a nuance of combat or war tactics, so I corrected this to "surrounded" which is simpler and still conveys the same meaning.

Another, more natural way to phrase this would be: "Even in libraries, there aren't a lot of Russian books."

I would rephrase this to: Why is there a general lack of interest in learning Russian in Japan?

Well done! Your English is great. Learning Russian must be very difficult especially if you don't have complete resources.

Although the reader can most certainly infer that "it" is referring to the U.S., from a purely grammatical standpoint, the U.S. has not been brought up as the subject of any sentence. So, there's not really a subject for "it" to reference and for this reason the sentence sounds a little unnatural.

The use of "the" here is not wrong, but it assumes the reader knows who you are talking about, which I don't...
