The Japanese Alps is a series of mountain ranges in Japan which bisect the main island of Honshū (本州). The name was coined by English archaeologist William Gowland, and later popularized by Reverend Walter Weston (1861–1940), an English missionary for whom a memorial plaque is located at Kamikōchi (上高地), a tourist destination known for its alpine climate. The term Japanese Alps first only included the Hida Range in the late 19th century, but now applies to the Kiso Range and Akaishi Range as well.jpg|thumb|Reverend Walter Weston called "Father of the Japanese Alps" memorial plaque at Kamikōchi in the Japanese Alps]]}}
