Everything about Mainland Japan totally explained
Mainland Japan (
Japanese: 内地
naichi, lit. "inner lands") is an uncommon term to distinguish the area of
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.
