Discover the Different Regions of Japan
Chubu
Most tourists will only glimpse the region as a blur through a bullet train window; Chubu, though, deserves your attention.
Chugoku
Wedged between the more famous regions of Kansai and Kyushu is one of Japan’s most beautiful gardens, the country’s oldest shrine, ever-changing sand dunes and a tiny island reigned by rabbits.
Kanto
Most people will come to Kanto for Tokyo but the region has other talents that are well worth setting aside some time to explore.
Okinawa
White sand beaches and crystal blue waters, jungles and rare wildcats, centuries of unique native traditions, the birthplace of karate — this is Japan’s very own tropical island paradise.
