Chugoku area

About 2,000km from north to south, Japan has
tropical, temperate and subarctic zones. The
nation s population is about 127 million, andmore than 73% of its land area is mountainous.
This is a volcanic region with many eruptions
and earthquakes, but this also means there aremany hot springs. With four distinct seasons,the nation enjoys fresh agricultural and marine
products throughout the year.

The Chugoku area has two distinct regions:
the Sanyo region facing the Seto Inland Sea
which has many sunny days, and the San inregion on the Sea of Japan side that tends toexperience more snow. The prefectures inthe area enjoy the bounty of nature, such aspeaches from Okayama, pears from Tottori,
oysters from Hiroshima,clams fromShimane andblowﬁsh from Yamaguchi.
The area also attracts many visitors with its
historical and cultural heritage.
