Is Japan's population concentrated on Hokkaido and Shiloku?

Answer 1

Shikoku is the least populated out of all Japan's major Islands with only around 3 percent of the Japanese population living there. Shikoku is a mountainous island that is separated from Japan's most populated Island Honshu by the inland sea. There is very little flat land on Shikoku as most of the Island covered with rugged, mountainous terrain. There are a few cities (generally Takamatsu, Matsuyama, Tokushima and Kochi) that have a concentrated population, although these cities are not considered densely populated in Japanese standards. Hokkaido has only 4 percent of the Japanese population living on it as it is very remote, embracing harsh winters with heavy snow and icy siberian winds. The population of Hokkaido is very spread out in rural areas, although there are a large number of inhabitants in Sapporo, the capital, despite being one of the least densely populated cities in Japan. 80 percent of the Japanese population lives on Honshu, which is Japans largest island featuring the major cities of Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, Kyoto, Hiroshima and Sendai. Honshu has a large portion of flat, habitable land that is easily accessible to the ocean and has hot, humid summer with cold, bearable winters.
