Location: 多摩地域[たまちいき]

Kanji: 中部地方[ちゅうぶちほう]
Description: The Chūbu region is located in the middle of Honshū, and its central part is characterized by high, rugged mountains. The Japanese Alps divide the country into the Pacific side, sunny in winter, and the Sea of Japan side, snowy in winter. As Chūbu covers a large and geographically diverse area, it is generally divided into three distinct subregions: Tōkai, Kōshin'etsu, and Hokuriku.
The varieties of Japanese spoken in Chūbu are grouped into two main categories: The Tōkai–Tōsan dialects and the Hokuriku dialects. The Tōkai–Tōsan dialects are transitional dialects, with the varieties spoken in Gifu and Aichi prefectures, as well as parts of Niigata prefecture, having features of both Eastern and Western Japanese, and the varieties spoken in Yamanashi, Nagano and Eastern Shizuoka being typical of Eastern Japanese. The Hokuriku dialects are spoken with a variety of pitch accents and share features with both Western and Eastern Japanese, with some features resembling the Tōhoku dialects. The Tōkai–Tōsan dialects are generally classified as Eastern Japanese, while the Hokuriku are generally classified as Western Japanese.

Kanji: 中国地方[ちゅうごくちほう]
Description: The Chūgoku region is the westernmost region of Honshū. It is characterized by irregular rolling hills and limited plain areas and is divided into two distinct parts by mountains running east and west through its center - the San'in region and the San'yō region.
In the San'yō is the city of Hiroshima, which is regarded as the capital of the Chūgoku region and is an industrial metropolis of more than one million people. The San'in region, by contrast, is less industrialized with an agricultural economy.
The varieties of Japanese spoken in the Chūgoku are divided into two groups: the Chūgoku dialects and the Umpaku dialects. The Umpaku dialects, spoken in part of the San'in region, are unique in the Chūgoku region, superficially resembling the Tōhoku dialects and containing archaic sounds which are non-standard for modern Japanese. The Chūgoku dialects are spoken in the rest of the region, and like the Kansai dialects are sometimes stereotyped as being Yakuza dialects. A notable feature of some of the Chūgoku dialects, such as the Hiroshima dialect, is the use of "ja" instead of "da" as the copula.

Kanji: 北海道[ほっかいどう]
Description: Formerly known as Ezo, it is the second largest island of Japan, and the largest and northernmost prefecture. It is connected to Honshu via the Seikan Tunnel, an undersea railway, but most people travel to the island by air. It is also possible to travel to the island by ferry. While Hokkaido has a fairly well-developed railway network, many of its cities can only be accessed by road.
The variety of Japanese spoken in Hokkaido varies depending on the region, with speech in urban areas like Sapporo being close to Standard Japanese, and speech in coastal areas, particulary on the southern Oshima Peninsula, being more strongly influenced by the dialects of the Tōhoku region.
Hokkaido was originally settled by the Ainu, Nivkh, and Orok peoples since before recorded history. There was trade between the inhabitants of Hokkaido and the Japanese during the the Nara and Heian periods (710–1185), and from the Kamakura period (1185–1333) the inhabitants of Hokkaido came to be called Ezo.
During the Muromachi period (1336–1573), the Japanese created a settlement in the south of Hokkaido which led to disputes with the Ainu, and eventually a war (which the Japanese won). There were numerous subsequent revolts by the Ainu against feudal rule. The parts of Hokkaido settled by the Japanese were referred to as "Wajinchi", Japanese Lands, while the rest of Hokkaido was known as "Ezochi", Ezo (Ainu) Lands.
Following the Meiji Restoration (1868), Ezo was put under control of Hakodate Prefectural Government, a Development Commission was established, and a new name was introduced - from 1869, Ezo came to be known as Hokkaido. The primary purpose of the development commission was to secure Hokkaido before the Russians extended their control of the Far East beyond Vladivostok.
Hokkaido was initially divided into 11 provinces, then 3 prefectures (Hakodate, Sapporo and Nemuro), before finally becoming a single prefecture in 1886. In 1947, Hokkaido became equal with other prefectures as a result of the revised Local Autonomy Law, but the -ken suffix was never added to its name, so the -dō suffix came to be understood to mean "prefecture."
Today, about 10% of the total land area of Hokkaido is composed of National Parks, and there are still many undisturbed forests in Hokkaido. As Hokkaido contains 22% of Japan's forests, there is a sizable timber industry in the prefecture.
Hokkaido is Japan's coldest region, having relatively cool summers and icy/snowy winters. The average August temperature ranges from 17 to 22 °C, while the average January temperature ranges from −12 to −4 °C. The western side of the island tends to be a little warmer than the east, and the northern part sees significant snowfalls. Hokkaido is normally not affected by the humidity, nor the June–July rainy season, which the other major islands of Japan experience.
Agriculture plays an important role in Hokkaido's economy, and Hokkaido has nearly one fourth of Japan's total arable land. It ranks first in the nation in the production of a host of agricultural products, including wheat, soybeans, potatoes, sugar beet, onions, pumpkins, corn, raw milk, and beef. The prefecture is also first in the nation in production of marine products and aquaculture.
Tourism is another important industry in Hokkaido, especially during the cool summertime when visitors are attracted to Hokkaido's open spaces from hotter and more humid parts of Japan and other Asian countries. During the winter, skiing and other winter sports bring other tourists, and increasingly international ones, to the island.

Kanji: 近畿地方[きんきちほう]・関西地方[かんさいちほう]
Description: Home of Kyoto, the old capital, the Kansai region is the cultural and historical heart of Japan with 11% of its land area and 22,757,897 residents as of 2010. The Keihanshin region, comprising Osaka, Kobe and Kyoto, is the second most populated in Japan after the Greater Tokyo Area. Four of Japan's national parks lie within the borders of Kansai, in whole or in part, and the area also contains six of the seven top prefectures in terms of national treasures.
Whereas the Kanto region is symbolic of standardization throughout Japan, the Kansai region displays many more idiosyncrasies – the culture in Kyoto, the mercantilism of Osaka, the history of Nara, or the cosmopolitanism of Kobe – and represents the focus of counterculture in Japan. This East-West rivalry has deep historical roots, particularly from the Edo period - With a samurai population of less than 1% the culture of the merchant city of Osaka stood in sharp contrast to that of Edo, the seat of power for the Tokugawa shogunate, and many characteristic traits of Kansai people descend from Osaka merchant culture.
Kansai is well known for its food, especially Osaka, with some popular dishes being takoyaki, okonomiyaki, kitsune udon and kushikatsu. Kyoto is also famous for its traditional cuisine like kaiseki. Another specialty of the region is sake, with the areas of Nada-Gogō and Fushimi producing 45% of all sake in Japan. As opposed to food from Eastern Japan, food in the Kansai area tends to be sweeter, and foods such as nattō tend to be less popular.
The varieties of Japanese spoken in the region are collectively known as the Kansai dialects. The Kansai dialects are typified by the Osaka dialect, being that Osaka is the largest city in the region and thus speakers of the Osaka dialect gained the most media exposure over the last century. The pitch accent in Kansai dialects is very different from the standard Tokyo accent, so non-Kansai Japanese can recognise Kansai people easily from that alone. Many words and grammar structures in Kansai dialects are contractions of their classical Japanese equivalents.
The Kansai dialects are quite popular in Japanese literature, manga, and anime as a choice for representing a character somewhat "different" from the norm. The characters speaking Kansai dialect are often associated with the stereotypical Osakan image of being humorous, miserly, epicurean, gaudy, vulgar, energetic, or even involved with yakuza.

Kanji: 関東地方[かんとうちほう]
Description: The heartland of feudal power during the Kamakura period and again in the Echi period, the Kantō region today is home to the Greater Tokyo Area and is the most highly developed, urbanized, and industrialized part of Japan. Tokyo and Yokohama form a single industrial complex with a concentration of light and heavy industry along Tokyo Bay.
Within the Greater Tokyo Area and especially the Tokyo-Yokohama metropolitan area, Kantō houses not only Japan's seat of government but also the nation's largest group of universities and cultural institutions, the greatest population, and a large industrial zone. Although most of the Kantō plain is used for residential, commercial, or industrial construction, it is still farmed.
The varieties of Japanese spoken in the Kantō region are collectively known as the Kantō dialects. The Yamanote Tokyo dialect, the basis of Standard Japanese, is a member of this group. The dialects in the eastern part of Kantō share some features with the Tōhoku dialects.

Kanji: 九州地方[きゅうしゅうちほう]
Description: The third largest island of Japan, and the most southwesterly of Japan's four main islands, Kyushu is mountainous and contains Japan's most active volcano, Mt Aso. There are many other signs of tectonic activity in Kyushu, including numerous areas of hot springs, the most famous of these being in Beppu City, on the east shore, and around Mt. Aso, in central Kyushu. There are also significant mud hot springs in the northern part of the island around Beppu.
The varieties of Japanese spoken in Kyushu are divided into three groups: the Hichiku dialects spoken in western Kyushu, the Hōnichi dialects spoken in eastern Kyushu, and the Satsugu (Kagoshima) dialects spoken in the Kagoshima province. Rural Kyushu dialects can be nearly unintelligible to people who are accustomed to standard Japanese, with the Satsugū dialect being famous for its mutual unintelligibility to even its neighbouring Kyushu variants.
Most of Kyushu's population is concentrated along the northwest, in the cities of Fukuoka and Kitakyushu, with population corridors stretching southwest into Sasebo and Nagasaki and south into Kumamoto and Kagoshima. Excepting Oita and Miyazaki cities, the eastern seaboard shows a general decline in population.
Major agricultural products in Kyushu are rice, tea, tobacco, sweet potatoes, and soy, with silk is also being widely produced. The island is also noted for various types of porcelain, including Arita, Imari, Satsuma, and Karatsu. Heavy industry is concentrated in the north around Fukuoka, Kitakyushu, Nagasaki, and Oita and includes chemicals, automobiles, semiconductors, and metal processing. Lexus has a large, state of the art, manufacturing plant in Kyushu.

Kanji: 四国地方[しこくちほう]
Description: The smallest and least populous of the four main islands of Japan. Most of the 3.8 million inhabitants live in the north, and all but one of the island's few larger cites are located there. Unlike the other three major islands of Japan, Shikoku has no volcanoes.
The varieties of Japanse spoken in the Shikoku region are collectively known as the Shikoku dialects, and have many similarities to the Chūgoku dialect in grammar. The largest difference between the Shikoku dialects and the Chūgoku dialects is in pitch accent - much of Shikoku speaks with the Kyoto-Osaka-type accent or its variations, while speakers of Chūgoku dialects use a Tokyo-type accent.
Industry in Shikoku is moderately well developed and includes the processing of ores from the important Besshi copper mine. Land is used intensively, with wide alluvial areas, especially in the eastern part of the zone, being planted with rice and subsequently double cropped with winter wheat and barley. Because of wheat production, Sanuki udon became an important part of the diet in Kagawa Prefecture (former Sanuki Province) in the Edo period, and udon remains today as major food of Shikoku.
The warm climate of Shikoku lends itself to the cultivation of citrus fruits, like persimmons, peaches, and grapes, and fruit is grown throughout the northern area in great variety. As a result, yuzu, mikan and other citrus fruits are plentiful on Shikoku and have become synonymous with the regions they are grown in.

Kanji: 東北地方[とうほくちほう]
Description: The Tōhoku region, as its name suggests, consists of the northeastern portion of Honshu. Its reputation is that of a remote, scenic region with a harsh climate, and is one of the less developed areas of Japan.
The varieties of Japanese spoken in Tōhoku are collectively known as the Tōhoku dialects. Toward the northern part of Honshū, the Tōhoku dialect can differ so dramatically from Standard Japanese that it is sometimes rendered with subtitles in the nationwide media and it has been treated as the typical rural accent in Japanese popular culture. The dialect is known by the derogatory nickname "zuuzuu-ben" (zuuzuu dialect), and people in other parts of Japan joke that people from Tōhoku can't speak properly because the region is too cold for them to open their mouths fully. As a result, when talking with people from other regions, speakers of the Tōhoku dialect often hide their dialect and speak in Standard Japanese instead.
Like most of Japan, Tōhoku is hilly and mountainous, and the inland location of many of the region's lowlands has led to a concentration of much of the population there.
Tōhoku was traditionally considered the granary of Japan, and provided 20 percent of the nation's rice crop. The climate, however, being harsher than in other parts of Honshū, permits only one crop a year on paddy fields.

Kanji: 北陸地方[ほくりくちほう]
Description: The Hokuriku region lies on the Sea of Japan coastline, northwest of the massive mountains that comprise Kōshin'etsu. Hokuriku includes the four prefectures of Ishikawa, Fukui, Niigata and Toyama.
The district has very heavy snowfall (sometimes enough to block major roads) and strong winds in winter, and its turbulent rivers are the source of abundant hydroelectric power. Niigata Prefecture is the site of domestic gas and oil production as well. Industrial development is extensive, especially in the cities in Niigata and Toyama; Fukui and Ishikawa prefectures also have large manufacturing industries.
Historically, Hokuriku's development is owed to markets in the Kansai region, however recently the urban areas at the heart of the Kantō region and Tōkai region are having a heavy an influence as well. Hokuriku has port facilities which are mainly to facilitate trade with Russia, Korea and China.
Transportation between Niigata and Toyama used to be geographically limited and so Niigata has seen especially strong influence from the Kantō region. Because of this, Niigata Prefecture is often classified as being part of the Kōshin'etsu region with the Nagano and Yamanashi Prefectures.
Since the Heian Era until the Edo Period the region was a core recipient of population, and the population grew to be much larger proportionately than it is today, despite the rural character, but with the growth of urban centers in the 20th century, particularly Tokyo and Nagoya, the Hokuriku region has steadily declined in importance to become relative backwaters.

Kanji: 甲信越地方[こうしんえつちほう]
Description: Kōshin'etsu is an area of complex and high rugged mountains—often called the "roof of Japan"—that include the Japanese Alps. It consists of the Yamanashi, Nagano, and Niigata prefectures. The population is chiefly concentrated in six elevated basins connected by narrow valleys. It was long a main silk-producing area, although output declined after World War II. Much of the labor formerly required in silk production was absorbed by the district's diversified manufacturing industry, which included precision instruments, machinery, textiles, food processing, and other light manufacturing.

Kanji: 東海地方[とうかいちほう]
Description: The Tōkai region, mostly bordering the Pacific Ocean, is a narrow corridor interrupted in places by mountains that descend into the sea. Because Tōkai is a sub-region and is not officially classified, there is some disagreement about where exactly the region begins and ends, however Japanese maps widely conclude that the region includes Shizuoka, Aichi, Gifu and Mie prefectures.
Since the Tokugawa period (1600–1867), this corridor has been critical in linking Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka. One of old Japan's most important ancient roadways, the Tōkaidō, ran through it connecting Tokyo (at that time called Edo) and Kyoto, the old imperial capital. In the twentieth century, it became the route for new super-express highways and high-speed railroad lines (shinkansen).
A number of small alluvial plains are found in the corridor section. A mild climate, favorable location relatively close to the great metropolitan complexes, and availability of fast transportation have made this area a center for truck-gardening and out-of-season vegetables. Upland areas of rolling hills are extensively given over to the growing of mandarin oranges and tea. Aichi Prefecture's Nagoya City, which faces Ise Bay, is a center for heavy industry, including iron and steel and machinery manufacturing. The corridor also has a number of small but important industrial centers. All in all, Tōkai is one of the most industrial regions in Japan, and its coast is lined with densely populated cities whose economies thrive on factories. The western part of Tōkai includes the Nōbi Plain, where rice was being grown by the seventh century.
Also of note in Tōkai as another sub-region called Chūkyō ( 中京圏[ちゅうきょうけん]). The three Tōkai prefectures centered on Nagoya City (Aichi, Gifu, and Mie) have particularly strong economic ties, and the parts of these prefectures that are closest to the city comprise the Chūkyō Metropolitan Area. This area boasts the third strongest economy in Japan and this influence can sometimes extend into the more remote parts of these prefectures that are farther away from Nagoya City. Thus, these three prefectures are sometimes called the "Chūkyō region" in a business sense. This name does not see widespread usage throughout Japan; however, as the economy in the area strengthens, this name may become more well-known country-wide.

It is one of the so-called six old kiln sites of Japan (the others being Shigaraki, Bizen, Seto, Tanba, and Tokoname) and as such it is highly revered in the Japanese and international ceramics community.

Description: San'yōdō was a region under the now-obsolete Gokishichidō (also called Kinaishichidō) system, which was organized in Japan during the Asuka Period (AD 538–710), as part of a legal and governmental system borrowed from the Chinese. Though these units did not survive as administrative structures beyond the Muromachi Period (1336–1573), they did remain important geographical entities until the 19th century.
