From a European perspective, it’s verystrange, perhaps, but Chinese, Korea, and Japan aren’t just countries. They’realso regions with their own distinct populations. There’s been some gene flowback and forth, but not as much as between neighboring countries in Europe. Thelanguages aren’t closely related to each other either.
Think about it this way. If, instead of dozens of countries, there were onlyIreland, Sweden, and Greece separated by mountains and oceans in Europe, wouldyou be able to tell them apart most of the time? If you saw someone with redhair, someone with blond hair, someone with curly hair and dark skin, whatwould you think? It’s like that. It’s not enough to go on to be right all thetime, but it’s enough to have a stereotypical mental image of what eachpopulation’s people look like.
But it’s more than just a stereotype. The following image is from Dieneke’sAnthropology blog. It’s actually the most popular image on the site.
This image is a composite of, from left to right, Chinese, Korean, and Japanesewomen. To me, the most noticeable thing about that composite image is thedifference in skin tone, but the general shape of the face and the hair is alsodifferent.
This is a cluster analysis from Dieneke’s Anthropology blog which shows how theChinese, Japanese, and Korean people fall out genetically:
As you can see, there’s a lot of genetic variability in China, reflecting thefact that it’s a big, multiethnic country, a fair amount in Japan, whichstretches from the Ryukyu Islands to Hokkaido, and the people of Korea are insomewhere in between, but tightly clustered so that they don’t overlap witheither.
One of the reasons we don’t notice this is that Hollywood casting agents reallydon’t care about the difference. They seem to especially like to cast Koreanactors as Japanese characters.
Here is Time’s article ‘How to tell your Friends from the Japs.
这是《时代》的文章：如何区分你的朋友和日本鬼子。
Now this article also warns, even if youare a racial expert with a pair of calipers on hand, there are no hard tells,only suggestions. Most helpful though is if they just wear a badge declaringtheir ethnicity.
And here is an exerpt fromPocket Guide to China, a pamphlet given toservicemen in China during WWII.

There is tremendous genetic diversitywithin China. Hoever, in regards to the eastern Han Chinese, Korean, andJapanese I am going to take the minority opinion here and say that there are nosignificant facial differences between the groups. The groupings are politicaland cultural, not genetic.
I’ve lived in Japan for over 20 years, and this is a very non-PC opinion.Members of all three groups emphatically maintain that there are obviousdifferences. However, while there are striking differences in fashion andmanner, there are now over a million second and third generation Koreans andChinese that have grown up in Japan and cannot be identified as such unlessthey choose to make the fact known or unless one obtains a copy of their familyregistry.
An academic case can be made, but in practice any differences there may be arenot significant enough to be noticeable.
学术上来说，差异可能存在，但实际上还是难以察觉的不明显。

I donot think these facial differences, ifany, are that relevant. Or, to say it otherwise, the differences betweenSouthern Chinese and Northern Chinese are far greater than differences betweenNorthern Chinese and Japanese, so they are not a useful tool to tell themapart.
The way most people tell apart Chinese, Korean and Japanese is just by theclothing, the behavior, the haircut, and many other external signs that aremuch easier to detect.
区分中日韩三国人只能靠衣着，习惯，发型和其他容易区分的外部特征。
It is the same when you try to tell apart British and French people, theirclothes and haircut and the way they walk, they move their hands, they look atother people will tell you much more than merely the color of the hair or thefacial features.
This is an Interesting contrast to anarticle I read a couple of years ago that indicated that in fact it is rarelypossible to distinguish Koreans, Japanese and Chinese (Northern) by facialfeatures. There was a test where 100 Asian students at UCLAwere askedto guess what nationality people were from a group of photographs. Prior to thetest, most of them were confident that they would have no trouble answeringcorrectly, but the results were interesting – they showed that the participantswere no more accurate than somebody answering randomly. In other words, theywere actually completely unable to guess the nationality correctly!
There are some hair styles, beard styles and fashion styles among Japanese and Koreans that I rarely see in China. Apart from that, I see no sure way to tell them apart just by facial difference only. If a Korean or a Japanese were to wear some plain clothing and a simple hair style, I wouldn’t be able to tell them apart from the people I see in my neighborhood in China. That is before they utter a word, because it’s far easier to distinguish them by accent.
I can often tell who is Japanese, but I cannot tell it without dress and expression.
In fact, Chinese gene pool is a super set of Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese gene pool.
我可以分辨出日本人，但是是通过衣着和表达。
实际上，中国人的基因库相当于日本人、韩国人、越南人加一块儿。

Japanese people tend to have a longer / oval facial structure with lower cheekbones, wider / larger eyes and more pronounced noses.
Korean
Korean people tend to have flatter faces with higher / squarer cheek bones and smaller eyes with single eyelids (opposed to double).
Chinese
Chinese people tend to have rounder faces than both Korean and Japanese people. China is a huge multi-ethnic country unlike Korea and Japan (which are more ethnically homogeneous) making it much harder to differentiate or generalize.
日本人往往有较长的/椭圆形面部结构，较低的颧骨,更大的眼睛和更明显的鼻子。
韩国人往往脸比较扁平，颧骨方正而且较高，眼镜小，一般是单眼皮。
中国一般是圆脸，介于韩国人和日本人之间。中国是个庞大的多民族国家，所以很难区分或者概括。

I’m not expert at all, but judging from my own observations, I see these differences:
Koreans have usually more rounded faces, flatter, with high cheekbones. And their skin color is very light.
Japanese are similar but their faces are not that flat. They usually have softer features. Okinawans have darker skin though. Although not very common, it’s possible to see Japanese men with some facial hair and even mustache, which is unlikely in other Asians. I wonder if Ainu genes have something to do with it.
Han Chinese are usually slim and their eyes are more slanted. I ignore about other Chinese nationalities, but I’ve seen some darker ones in Guangzhou. I guess they were migrants from other regions.
