Japan - Northern Honshu (Tohoku) (Chapter)
This is the Northern Honshū (Tōhoku) chapter from Lonely Planet's Japan guidebook. It includes updated travel information regarding the Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami of March 2011.
The Tōhoku region remains a recommended destination for outdoor enthusiasts in search of rugged hiking, remote onsen and alpine skiing. Physical beauty aside, visiting the northern reaches of Honshū also encourages tourism to recommence where its economic effects are needed most.
