∙ 12y agoJapan has four main islands: hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, and kyushu. But, Japan actually has over 1000 islands, but only around 30 inhabit citizens. Why does Japan have so many islands? Well, thousands of years ago, Japan was one large island. Japan was covered with ice caps and glaciers. the glaciers melted, which rose the sea level around Japan, separating Japan into islands. japan consists of other smaller islands such as Okinawa, and the Ryuku Islands.
