The word "Nihon" translated to English means Japan. When the Japanese people refer to their land, they say Nihon or Nippon (日本)

Similarly, they don't call themselves Japanese, they say they are Nihonjin 日本人
meaning 'Japan person'= Japanese

"Nihon" is Japanese for the word "Japan". In Japanese, one doesn't say "Japan", they say "Nihon".

Nihon ni itta. (I went to Japan.)
It's not, "Japan ni itta"
