Japan Information
Japanese, is an island nation
in East Asia.
Japan consists of four main islands and
many smaller islands, notably Okinawa.
Honshu, by far the largest and most populated
island, is typically divided into five

used are:

Hokkaido - the snowy
northern frontier of Japan
-
Tohoku - northeastern
Honshu, for seafood, skiing and hot
springs
-
Kanto - coastal plain
including the cities of Tokyo and Yokohama
-
Chubu - mountainous
middle region dominated by the Japan
Alps and Japan's fourth-largest city
Nagoya
-
Kansai - ancient capital
of culture and commerce, including the
cities of Osaka, Kyoto, Nara and Kobe

Chugoku - westernmost
Honshu, a rural region best known for
the cities of Hiroshima and Shimonoseki
