Are you identifying individuals in pictures? In the case you would say 'There HE is, in the back row' If you are highlighting the whole row, 'here is the back row' We would be more likely to say 'This is the back of the class/bus/house' if identifying parts of something to another. So 'This is Japan would be more commonly heard/accepted'
