explanation: Aomori prefecture occupies the most northern part of Honshu Island. Its surface is 9,617 km2 and the population 1.5 million. The prefectural office is at Aomori City. The important activity of Aomori is the tourism due to its strategic place to go to Hokkaido via Tsugaru Strait and a beautiful volcanic landscape of the southern region. The eastern part is less populated and recently the government has tried to activate it by creating an industrial area around Hachinohe.
