3. Kanto - coastal plain including Tokyo and Yokohama

4. Chubu - mountainous middle region dominated by the Japan Alps (including Mount Fuji) and Japan's fourth-largest city Nagoya

5. Kansai - ancient capital of culture and commerce, including Osaka, Kyoto, Nara and Kobe

6. Chugoku - westernmost Honshu, a rural region best known for Hiroshima

7. Shikoku - the smallest of the Big 4, a destination for Buddhist pilgrims

8. Kyushu - birthplace of Japanese civilization, largest towns Fukuoka and Nagasaki

9. Okinawa - semitropical southern island chain reaching out to Taiwan
