Air travel is HUGE in Japan. They use 747s on sub-1 hour domestic flights.

Plus they are of course a major hub and in some cases to only neutraly acceptable route between two "states".
Even without that given Japans dearth of raw materils and high end product export levels I would have thoughtthe traffic to be far higher than that shown in the graphic.

edit to add in relation to the quote .
Generally speaking when you put a 747 on a run the main usage is as a quick cargo shipment. JAL always did very good passengers fares because the Cargo was making the profit and passengers were just a bonus , which was a major factor in choosing the various 747s due to their easily adaptable load configuration
