Okinawa – semi-tropical southern island chain reaching out toward Taiwan, its traditional customs and architecture are significantly different from the rest of Japan.
Hokkaido – home to Japan’s native Ainu people, Hokkaido continues to represent the untamed wilderness with many great national parks. Hokkaido is cooler than the rest of Japan, and the merciful lack of Japan’s muggy summers and rainy season makes it a very popular domestic destination between May and August.
Tohoku – the Snow Country (Yukiguni) of the western Japan Sea coast racks up some of the highest snowfall figures in the world, which also means great skiing and lots of hot springs to warm up in. Tohoku also has many castles and samurai residences, making it a good place to take in some history.
Kanto – with the megalopolis of Tokyo and its suburbs. In feudal times, Kanto was the home of the Tokugawa shogunate and Edo (modern Tokyo) the military seat of power, while the western region of Kansai represented commerce (Osaka) and culture (Kyoto).
