An raba tsibirin Japan zuwa manyan yankuna uku:

* Northeastern Japan, north of  (which had high volcanic activity 14–17&nbsp;million years before present)
** Idosawa Fault
** Senya Fault
** Hidaka Mountains
** Kitakami Mountains
** Ōu Mountains
* Central Japan, between Tanakura fault and Itoigawa-Shizuoka Tectonic Line.
** Fossa Magna graben
** Tanna Fault
** Bōsō Hill Range
* Southwestern Japan, south of Itoigawa-Shizuoka Tectonic Line. The Southwestern Japan is further subdivided into several metamorphic belts stretched along Japan Median Tectonic Line. The parts of Japan north of Japan Median Tectonic Line ("Inner Zone") contains many granitoid fragments dating from Paleogene to Cretaceous period intruding the older material, while south of the line ("Outer Zone") is mostly accretionary complexes of Jurassic period or younger.
** Urasoko fault
** Fukozu Fault
** Neodani Fault
** Nojima Fault
** Hida orogenic belt (Hida Mountains and Ryōhaku Mountains)
** Sangun orogenic belt
** Maizuru orogenic belt
