There are many uninhabited small islands in Japan. The smallest of the 7 major islands is Shikoku at about 19,000 square kilometers.

One of the smallest inhabited natural islands is Mikimoto Pearl island, a tourist attraction in Toba (Honshu) at the western entrance of Ise Bay. It is only about 300 ft x 300 ft (8000 sq m) and about 150 feet offshore.

Bishop Rock, by statement of the Guinness Book of Records, it is the smallest island on Earth to have a building on it. It is merely 46 meters by 16 meters (736 m^2). It was inhabited during the construction of its 120 feet high lighthouse (which was washed away), and its 44.2 meters lighthouse standing today. It is approximately 73/1000s of a hectare, smaller than the Stonehenge and the Olympic Swimming pool, but larger than a Chinese Mu. Bishop Rock, is now uninhabited, and stands off the coast of the Isle of Scilly. It serves as a border between Great Britain and the Atlantic Ocean. Falkland, a British Barque wrecked on near that position as well.

In Japan, there are four main islands: Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu. (In order form top island, to bottom island) Honshu is the main island. In, Japan there are over 1000 islands, but just over 10 is used. Japan used to be one island, but thousands of years ago there were large ice glaciers covering Japan. The ice glaciers melted, rising the sea level around it, and separating Japan into islands. Japan also consists of other small islands such as Okinawa and the Ryuku islands.
