One of
the most populous cities in the world
Center of economy, culture and industries in the world
Tokyo
consists of the southwestern part of the Kanto Region, the Izu
Islands, and the Ogasawara islands. The population is one of the
largest in the world. It is the Capital of Japan where over 11
million people live. Since Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu established a
government in the early 17th century, the town started to
develop, spreading around his resident Edo Castle. Although most
of the city was devastated by the Great Earthquake of 1923 and
again by the bombing in the WWII, it achieved rapid restoration
both times.
Kyoto
Prefecture, located in the middle of the Main Island of
Japan, forms a long shape, extending from the northern coast
on the Wakasa Bay, through the Kyoto Basin, up to the
southern region bordering on kyoto and Mie Prefectures. The
northern coastal area by the Sea of Japan, which includes
the Sanin Seaside National Park and the Wakasa Bay
Seminational Park, is indeed a rich mine of natural
beauties, as Amano Hashidate (sandbar)--one of the scenic
trio of Japan--exemplifies. The city of Kyoto lies in the
Kyoto Basin, where old-time nature is well preserved, thanks
to the characteristics of Kyoto as a "Mecca" of Japan--a
country of history and tradition. In addition, the Hiei
Mountain, the riverside of Uji, and Kasagi Mountain in the
extreme south also preserve the rich nature as it was
before.
Hokkaido
is Japan's northernmost island, but Cape Soya situated in
the northern extremity of the island is in the lower
latitude than Paris, and Sapporo City is in the same
latitude as Marseilles in southern France. Hokkaido, which
is as large as both of Switzerland and Denmark together,
accounts for about 22% of the total land mass. Throughout a
year, many people visit the prefecture where remain Mighty
Nature. It is cool and comfortable in summer and you can
enjoy any kind of winter sports in winter. Hokkaido, where
you can find Mother Nature, boasts many sight-seeing places
which include the hot-spring resorts of Noboribetsu and the
Jozankei gorge in Donan (Southern Hokkaido), Shikotsu-Toya
National Park, the Shiretoko Peninsula, the Shakotan Kaigan
coast, Daisetsuzan National Park which comprises the
backbone of the island, the Daisetsu Mountains, and Kushiro
Swamp that rare creatures inhabit.
