Japan is considered an archipelago because Japan is made up of numerous islands, with 4 main islands making up the most of its surface area. It is not connected to the contineâ¦nt in any way and is completely surrounded by water. Its neighbor Korea would be a peninsula.
Japan Geography. The archipelago of Japan contains over 4,000 islands stretching along the Pacific coast of East Asia, with four major islands (sometimes referred to as the Home Islands): Hokkaido, Honshu, Kyushu and Shikoku. Honshu is the main island of Japan, and largest at 810 miles (1,300 km) in length. Dominated by mountains and volcanoes, the massive earthquake of March 2011 moved Honshu 7.9 ft (2.4 m). The second largest, Hokkaido, is also the northernmost of Japan's islands; while on the other end, Kyushu is the most southwesterly.
