Honda was never a big car maker in Japan. Even at the peak of Bubble Era their largest mainstream car sold there was the Accord and Prelude. Sure they also sold the Acura Legend in JDM but at the same time Toyota/Nissan sold over 10 big car models. Honda's strong suit is always Kei cars and subcompacts so naturally they are compared to Suzuki.
Honda USA and Acura are the most 'Americanized' Japanese brand and they almost operate completely independent from Honda Japan. Nowadays Honda USA has more influence on Honda's global product strategy.
