Mainland Japan ( from Okinawa and Hokkaidō and the colonies that Japan used to possess in East Asia . The literal Japanese meaning might best be translated as inner Japan or inner lands. The term "mainland" is an inaccurate translation because Mainland is usually the continental part of a region, as opposed to the islands. It is also somewhat confusing as Mainland Japan is defined to consist of several major islands ( Honshū , Kyūshū , Shikoku ) and many minor ones. The term mainland Japan is also sometimes used to translate Honshū , the largest island, though ''naichi'' not. ''See also Home Islands '' |
