Nanpō Islands Map
The Nanpō Islands are a group of islands in Japan. This map shows the islands on shaded relief, with its relief, rivers and towns.
How to read this map
The map is centred on the Nanpō Islands. Towns and cities on the map include Tokyo, Osaka, Yokohama, Nagoya, Kyoto, Hamamatsu, Okayama and Shizuoka. Labeled countries: Japan.
Greens show lower elevations; tan and brown show higher land, with pale tones toward the highest terrain. Shadows emphasize the slopes, and vertical relief is exaggerated so landforms are easier to read. Dashed lines show country borders.
The relief uses Terrain Tiles (SRTM, GMTED2010 and ETOPO1 elevation data). Rivers, lakes, borders come from Natural Earth, and the figures on this page from Wikidata. These are small-scale educational maps, not navigation charts.
Blank physical map
The blank version keeps the mapped features and removes the place labels. Download it for a geography worksheet or practice identifying the features.
