Japan's islands

There are 4 Main islands

• Hokkaido (Ho = North, kkai = See, do = road)
  Northernmost, this is just for 1 largest prefecture.
  Nice see food you could eat. Many good ski places are there. Many people want to go there to see ice field (North-East of this island).
• Honshu (Hon = Main, Shu = Land)
  Main island, Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto, place where most of travelers want to go are in this island.
  Many things to talk... will be updated later day.
• Shikoku (Shi = 4, Koku = Land/Country)
  There are 4 prefectures. Especially, Kagawa-prefecture is famous for noodles made of wheat flour, so called UDON. Many people go there just for UDON (Normally visit 3-4 UDON restaurant in one day...:)
• Kyuushu (Kyu = 9, Shu = Land/Country)
  There are 7 prefectures, why not 9? In the Samurai-age, there were 9 countries!
  Unfortunately, there was BIG earthquake recently. Really pay for their recovery!
