YOKOSUKA
TOPOGRAPHY
The terrain immediately adjacent to Tokyo Bay is low, but high mountains dominate Honshu to the west and northwest (Figure V-35). The mountains of north central Honshu average 5,000-to10,000 ft (1,524 to 3,048 m) in height and are often called the Japanese Alps. The highest mountain, 12,395 ft (3,778 m) Fujiyama, is located 60 mi due west of Yokosuka. Northern and southern Honshu's terrain is less rugged; southern Honshu has no peaks rising over 5,000 ft (1,524 m). The mountainous terrain of Honshu greatly influences the weather at Yokosuka .
