Favorite regions of Japan
 

What is your favorite region of Japan and why?

I spent 4 years in and around Yokosuka with many many trips to Toyko and surrounding area. I love that area. There are so many places to visit. I quickly became a master at the Train system, so getting around was second nature.
Living in a Japanese house, getting know my neighbors was great. i guess that's why I like the area so much. It's a personal attachment:cool:

I had friends who lived in Sasebo and after spending some time there, I was ready to come back to Toyko. I enjoyed it more than down south.

I chose Kansai although i only spent a week there i had a lot of fun. I love history and most of all i love Japanese history and Kansai is deeply rooted in it. Of course Osaka and Kyoto are the two most popular cities which pretty much everyone has heard of. I found the people in Osaka a lot more polite and easier to approach then in Tokyo thats not to say people in Tokyo are not polite and but i had more conversations with people in Osaka that i didnt know than i did in Tokyo.

Also, The Kansai region houses some of Japan's most beautiful and historic land marks including the Hōryū-ji (worlds largest wooden structure), the Nintoku Tomb (worlds largest burial mound) Plus my personal favorite Osaka Castle but we can throw Nintendo in there two lol.

I guess i just like all the history once can access in the region. When you see things like those it makes you feel just how young the U.S. is compared to Japan.


MMM you didnt mention yours?

I didn't want to influence anyone....yet.

LMAO i see but damn i wish people would think for themselves for once. Its hard being the papa bear around isnt it?:D

Chubu.

名古屋はええよ！

After my stint in Touhoku, I'd really like to move back there.

More like being seen as the big bad wolf...but I digress...

I did put my vote in.

I've been in Kyushu most, I guess, and am still homesick for Saga and Kumamoto (the Japanese side of my family is from that area).

Spent a little time in Narita but didn't care much for it. I guess I like inaka better.

I was only in Kyushu once, but was really impressed. I would love to go back again.

I guess my username says it all. :D

Go Chubu! Go Nagoya! :vsign:
