TOHOKU
Tohoku is the northeastern region of Japan's Honshu island.
Tohoku is famous for its scenery including one of Japan's Three Great
Views.
Traditionally a poor rural backwater with a harsh climate, today's Tohoku
offers the traveller some of the best scenery in Japan. In winter, 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.
