#157. the geography of Japan, prefectures

from jENI NO PIKA PIKA NIHONGO 日本語

Today we will learn about the geography of Japan. Japan is made up of four large islands. From north to south, they are Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu. Since Honshu is a large island, it is sometimes further divided into five parts: Hokkaido, Tohoku, Kanto, Chubu, Kansai, Chugoku, Shikoku, and Kyushu regions. Each region is further divided into 47 administrative units called prefectures. The Kanto region is the most populous region of Japan, centered on Tokyo. West of Tokyo in the Kanto region is Kanagawa Prefecture. Kanagawa is home to Japan's second most populous city, Yokohama, and famous tourist destinations such as Hakone and Kamakura. To the east of Tokyo is Chiba Prefecture, home to Narita Airport and Tokyo Disneyland. Tokyo Disneyland is not located in Tokyo. To the north of Tokyo lies Saitama Prefecture. Chichibu is rich in nature with river rafting, Kawagoe is called "Little Edo" with its retro townscape, and the Saitama Super Arena is located in Saitama. Tochigi Prefecture has many hot springs, and Nikko, with its beautiful autumn foliage, is also a popular tourist spot for foreigners. The other two prefectures in the Kanto region are Gunma and Ibaraki. Gunma is famous for its Kusatsu Onsen hot springs, and Ibaraki is  Ibaraki is home to Kairakuen, one of the three most famous gardens in Japan. Kairakuen is also famous for its beautiful plum blossoms, which are at their best now. What do you think? Did you understand a little about the geography of Japan? 今日は日本の地理を学んでいきましょう。 日本は大きな4つの島からできています。 それらは北から順に、北海道、本州、四国、九州と言われます。 また、本州は大きな島なのでさらに本州を5つに分けて、北海道、東北、関東、中部、関西、中国、四国、九州地方と分けることもあります。 さらにそれぞれの地方は、47の都道府県という行政単位に分かれています。 関東地方は、東京を中心に日本の最も人口が多い地域です。 関東には、東京の西側が神奈川県です。 神奈川には日本で二番目に人口の多い横浜があり、有名な観光地として、箱根や鎌倉があります。 東京の東側は千葉県があり、成田空港、そして東京ディズニーランドがあります。東京ディズニーランドは東京にあるのではないのです。 東京の北には埼玉県があります。川下りなどの自然が豊かな秩父やレトロな街並みが残り小江戸と言われる川越、そしてスポートさいたまスーパーアリーナ 栃木県には温泉が多いのですが、紅葉が美しい日光も外国人に人気の観光スポットです。 関東のあと二つは群馬県と茨城県です。群馬は草津温泉が有名で、茨城は  茨城には、日本三名園の一つ偕楽園があります。偕楽園は今が見ごろの美しい梅の花でも有名です。 どうですか? 日本の地理が少しはわかりましたか?
