We stayed at two places in Tohoku (aka "Northern Honshu") during our first week in Japan:

   -- Naruko Onsen

   -- Morioka

and visited three other places as well:

   -- Matsushima

   -- Kakunodate (a Samurai Town)

   -- Oga Penninsula

While the island of Honshu has the bulk of Japan's population, most of these people live in the Kanto region   (Tokyo and surrounding areas) and southwards; Tohoku is much less densely populated and thus is far less developed than the rest of the island.
