Best Answer

Japan is a series of islands, none of them being especially big. You can't have a big river on a small island.
There are lots of long rivers in Japan. It may depend on what you regard as long. Japan is not as big as some countries so would not have as much land for longer rivers. Its longest river is over 228 miles or 367 kilometres long.
