Conclusions
Its a small sample of the total mountains of Japan.

The top two popular mountains are located to the east of a plain up the Fuji river- walling in a region. And they are next to each other suggesting an early occupation site. And despite the river Fuji being overlooked by Mount Fuji, the river's original name is not going to be Fuji.
Features of our site include mount Minotochuyama in the centre of the boxed-in region. That seems a likely point of interest. It observes both the taller mountains. 2.5km x 2.5km in area. That is sufficient to support an early population group.

Any way, there is what we can discern from the two most popular mountain names (48% Io, 46% Aka). Kasa is next at 36% though its not in this local area. Aino doesnt come in until 34%. Though Mount Ai would still be the most popular form for first mountain and the river Oi its river. You can only wonder what was there.
