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
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)
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)
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?
