[edit]

japan is made of 4 huge islands and 6,000 little 1 ones. This is a list and should be so designated. Would List of Japan regions, List of Japanese regions or List of regions in Japan be the best title? --mav

I think I prefer List of Japanese regions, although perhaps List of regions in Japan would be a better general format. Whichever you think is best is fine with me.
I guess the same is true of similar lists? I based this one on Regions of France and there are other similar pages listed at [[region]]. I'm working on removing links to that disambiguation page, which is why I started this page. -- sannse 10:56 Mar 29, 2003 (UTC)
I kinda like List of regions in Japan as a general format too. That way you don't need to know what the adjectives are for each nation. --mav
heh, yeah I don't want to get into an argument about List of American regions ;) OK, I'll do the move -- sannse
Oye! Good point - I don't want to go through that again. :) --mav

In some references, Okinawa Prefecture is part of a separate region by itself as Okinawa region or Ryukyu region. Johnluisocasio (talk) 22:13, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

8 / 14 groups

[edit]

As discussed at the talk page of Japanese Wikipedia, there is no single official definition of the regions of Japan. Different organs use different groupings. In addition to the traditional 8 regions, the 14 groups defined by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism may be worth mentioning although I have never heard of the maritime/interior division of Kantō and Kinki (Kansai). As for groupings of municipalities, the notion of "Ryukyu Islands" is non-existent. The term of "Satsunan Islands" seems geography-specific too. The Kyushu-Okinawa division is more popular. --Nanshu (talk) 08:03, 29 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hokushin region

[edit]

The Hokushin region of Japan is composed of the Hokuriku region (Fukui, Ishikawa, and Toyama prefectures) and Nagano prefecture.[1]

So where does this fit in on this page?
