That's a tough one. I like Tohoku and Hokkaido a lot. The scenery is beautiful, the onsen are great and the people are kind and helpful.

I also like Kyushu. I've been there a few times and I've found the people quite friendly and easygoing.

Didn't like Osaka much I'm afraid.

I chose Kanto, but I can't say why I chose it.

Wow, Hokkaido's pretty popular!

I'd love to see Hokkaido myself one of these days. My dad and I want to go there next time...

And I ain't in it for my health
I ain't in it for the glory of anything at all
And I sure ain't in it for the wealth
But I'm in it till it's over and I just can't stop
If you wanna get it done,
You gotta do it yourself..."

I will have to say Chugoku, because my wife is from Kure and Hiroshima city is the only place I have spent any considerable amount of time in Japan. It also didn't feel like a western city, while the areas I saw of Nagoya and Osaka reminded me of San Francisco.

I think a lot of people aren't familiar with the region names.

But for me, I like cold weather. I like bundling up and all that. I also like snow. ^^

I spent some time with my uncle who lives in Yamanishi and I really loved that area. Lots of nature, great views of mountains including Fuji-san, hot springs, wineries, etc. And best of all, it isn't too far from Tokyo.
