The three largest mountains in Japan are: Mount Fuji measuring 3,776 metres [12, 388 feet], Mount Kita measuring 3,193 metres [10, 476 feet] and Mt Okuhotaka measuring 3,190 metres [10, 466 feet]

Yes, that's essentially correct, although most references show Mt. Kita-dake's elevation at 3192 meters (10,472 ft.).

Any references to Kita-dake's elevation as 3192 m are outdated and inaccurate. In 2004 Japan's Geospatial Information Authority (equivalent to America's USGS) revised Kita-dake's elevation 1 m higher to 3193 m. I climbed this peak 2 weeks ago (for the 3rd time), so I know. :-) Pls. refer to the linked references below.

What of mountains are in Japan?

Japanese Alps Yes, there are the Northern Japan Alps, the Central Japan Alps, and the Southern Japan Alps, all on Japan's main island of Honshu. There are also beautiful peaks on the northern island of Hokkaido, the southern island of Kyushu, and throughout Japan. Over the past 2 decades I've managed to climb the 25 highest mountains in Japan. With the exception of Mt. Fuji (富士山), the highest mountain in Japan, & Mt. Ontake-san (御嶽山) which are independent peaks, all of the nation's 25 highest peaks are in the Northern, Central, or Southern Japan Alps mountain ranges, with 12 in the north, 10 in the south, and only 1 in the Central Alps. Pls. refer to the "Highest Mountains in Japan" & Google Map links below for more info.
