| Mainland Japan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (94 words) |
| Mainland Japan (内地, naichi) is an uncommon term to distinguish the area of Japan from Okinawa and Hokkaido and the colonies that Japan used to possess in East Asia. |
| It is somewhat confusing as Mainland Japan is defined to consist of several major islands (Honshu, Kyushu, Shikoku) and many minor ones. |
| The term mainland Japan is also sometimes used to translate Honshu, the largest island, though naichi not. |
