mountain dew Central Japan is covered by the Japanese Alps.
That map is useless because those ranges are enormous. The Ou Mountains stretch from Aomori to the Kanto region (north of Tokyo). The Japanese Alps bisect the entire island of Honshu
Some major mountain ranges in Japan include the Japanese Alps, the Chugoku Mountains, and the Akaishi Mountains. These ranges cover much of the main islands of Japan and contribute to the country's rugged terrain and diverse landscapes.
Japanese Alps Yes, there are the Northern Japan Alps, the Central Japan Alps, and the Southern Japan Alps, all on Japan's main island of Honshu. There are also beautiful peaks on the northern island of Hokkaido, the southern island of Kyushu, and throughout Japan. Over the past 2 decades I've managed to climb the 25 highest mountains in Japan. With the exception of Mt. Fuji (富士山), the highest mountain in Japan, & Mt. Ontake-san (御嶽山) which are independent peaks, all of the nation's 25 highest peaks are in the Northern, Central, or Southern Japan Alps mountain ranges, with 12 in the north, 10 in the south, and only 1 in the Central Alps. Pls. refer to the "Highest Mountains in Japan" & Google Map links below for more info.
Japan has Japanese Alps, and not all of Japan has mountains. Nearly 70% of Japan is covered in mountains and volcanoes. Japan consists of 6,852 islands, and non-volcanic islands (such as coral islands) are very flat.
These mountains such as: Chugoku Mountains, the Japanese Alps, and the Hidaka Mountains helped Japan fight for their country as an obstacle in a battle.
There are 1279 mountains in Japan, the most famous of which seems to be Mount Fuji.

No, they are constantly on the move. Follow the Japanese current on a map from the sea of Japan, around the Pacific rim , and back to Japan.
Mt. Fuji, Mt. Naka, Mt. Tokachi, Mt. Okuhotaka, Mt. Hidaka, Mt. Chugoku, The Japanese Alps, and someone can add on to this. :D
