I checked the rentry and the map, and refined my initial climate assessment a bit, since the height of the mountains are taller than I expected.
For the flatland to the south, the initial thoughts are still more or less correct, with the climate generally changing from tropical monsoon (Am) and tropical savanna (Aw) to subtropical monsoon (Cwa). The addition of the mountains change a few things, though.
First, the mountain ridge to the norther coast should form a minor rain shadow effect (brown dotted line), although the effect will be more significant in the west, where the mountains seem taller. (the red numbers are my guess on their height, please correct me if I'm wrong). As such, western part of Cwa might see a more drastic difference in seasonal rainfall level.
Secondly, the northern shore will fall under said minor rain shadow, which makes the seasonal rainfall difference less significant, as the wet south wind is blocked and drops a lot of its water to the southern plains. As such, it might be considered humid subtropical (Cfa) instead. In the western tip, the loss of water in the wind might be significant enough that the winter north wind might actually be wetter, which would put it in the hot summer Mediterranean climate (Csa), although it might be too small to be a distinct climate zone.
Third, the height of Mt. Mori (which I assume is similar, if not a bit taller than Mt. Fuji) means it will have its own distinct climate zones by sheer height alone, kind of like Mount Kilimanjaro. Assuming a Mt. Fuji aesthetics (snow at the top), the following climate zones will form a series of (mostly) concentric circles as you go up from the foot of the mountain:
- Tropical monsoon/savannah (Am/Aw)
- Subtropical highland (Cwb/Cwc)
- Tundra (ET)
Be note that depending on how steep the slope is and other local topographic features, not all climate zones might be big enough to be distinct. Between subtropical highland and tundra will be the tree line, where the forest gives way to shrubs and grass. Be noted that by definition, tundra is not covered in ice all year, so the snow cap will disappear during summer season (just like Mt. Fuji). If you want it to have a permanent ice cap (EF), the height will likely have to reach 5000m+.
