See the answer
Aomori Prefecture
When asked which is the northernmost prefecture in Japan, you might be tempted to answer Hokkaido, but since the question specifies a “prefecture,” the correct answer is Aomori Prefecture. Located in the Tohoku region, Aomori sits at the northern tip of Honshu and is famous for its apple production and the Aomori Nebuta Festival. In recent years, “Ōma tuna” has also frequently made the news, making it a region you should definitely keep an eye on.
What is the largest lake in Japan?
- Lake Kasumigaura (Ibaraki)
- Lake Saroma (Hokkaido)
- Lake Biwa (Shiga)
See the answer
Lake Biwa (670 km²)
Lake Biwa in Shiga Prefecture, with an area of 670 km²—larger than Lake Kasumigaura in Ibaraki (220 km²) and Lake Saroma in Hokkaido (150 km²) combined—is known as the largest lake in Japan. Formed about 4.4 million years ago, it is an ancient lake located fairly close to Kyoto, and it’s said that Oda Nobunaga built Azuchi Castle on its shore to take advantage of water transport. Though it is called a lake, its vastness feels almost like the sea, making it a place you should see at least once.
Which of the following prefectures are located in the Tohoku region?
- Niigata Prefecture

Since 2011, it has also been strongly associated with the Great East Japan Earthquake, but it is known for having many specialty products thanks to its climate, which is well-suited to agriculture. In addition, it is historically important as the setting of the Aizu War, famous for the Byakkotai, so please be sure to remember it.
