Last week I wrote about the 8 regions of Japan. This week I am focusing on the prefectures in one of those regions, the Tohoku region. I plan to write about all 47 prefectures of Japan, though not all at once, otherwise you wouldn't be able to read much else except for that for the next couple of months. Eventually though, I will write about them all. Please let me know if you are enjoying them.

Here's the latest article from the Japanese Culture site at BellaOnline.com.

Prefectures in Tohoku
The Tohoku region of Japan contains six of Japan’s prefectures: Aomori, Akita, Iwate, Yamagata, Miyagi, and Fukushima. Learn what each is famous for. From temples made of gold to the legendary gateway to hell, each has something that you won't want to miss.
