Yet northern Honshu – which is more commonly known as ‘Tohoku’ – and the northernmost island of Hokkaido offer the advantage of unspoiled countryside and friendly down-to-earth villagers still imbued with something of a frontier spirit (see the map of Northern Japan). Much of the Pacific coast of Tohuku was devastated in the 2011 tsunami and will take years to recover.
