  More often Nihon than Nippon. The latter is somewhat archaic.

  Both are spelled almost the same in Japanese (kana): にほん vs. にぽん.

  日本 could be either, but most often Nihon.

  In France it’s called Japon.

    France also uses the world “nippon” as an adjective equivalent of “japanese”

      Same both Japón & Nipón for Spanish language but with its phonetics

        Same in Italian. Giappone and nipponico.

      Maybe it’s just regional for me, but we say Japonais
