Japan Alps
The Japan Alps is the common name of the mountain range that runs down the spine of the main Japanese island, Honshu. The name is only somewhat hyperbolic, as the Alps include nearly all of Japan's tallest mountains, many of them over 3000 meters and capped with snow well into the summer.| Tap on a place to explore it |
