The 200 and 300 Famous Mountains include only entries registered in Wikidata (cumulative, including the 100 Famous Japanese Mountains); the regional lists include only what could be read from the Wikipedia tables, so some have fewer than 100.

Figures come from official Japanese statistics (such as the 2025 Census by the Statistics Bureau of Japan), with the source and year shown next to each one. Photos are freely licensed images from Wikimedia Commons; the photographer and license are shown under each photo.
