Explanation:

Mountains are an important feature of Japan's topography.
Mountains are an important topographical feature of Japan.

Relief is a term mostly used in maps in reference to the variations in land elevation in a particular area, shown typically by a variation in color. For example, grean may be used for low plains, while brown may be used for high plateaus, and so on. So we say that this map shows the "topographical relief" of Japan, meaning how the land changes elevation.

Explanation:
