Home Islands
The Home Islands can refer to:
- The four main islands of Japan: Honshu, Kyushu, Shikoku, and Hokkaido. The term is not in common usage in the present day; it was used at the end of World War II to define the area of Japan to which its sovereignty and the constitutional rule of the Emperor would be restricted.
- The islands of Futuna and Alofi in the Pacific Ocean, now part of Wallis and Futuna.
