Japan has 4 major islands. Hokkaido, Shikoku, Hoshuu, and Kyuushuu. Okinawa has a couple islands (Okinawa is one island but many small islands surround it). Some islands do not have a nationality (Korea thinks its theres, while Japan says its under Japanese so it is Japan's), but usually when talking about Japan, only the big 4 islands are named.
