I haven't travelled all that much through Honshu or the other islands. Of course I've travelled extensively throughout Hokkaido though over the last 7 years. I love the landscapes and climate here and the fact that although it's something like 25% of the Japanese landmass it only has 6% of the population. Hokkaido is not crowded, it's mostly forests, mountains, lakes and farmland with a only a few big towns and cities. Perfect for me as I really don't like heavily populated places and avoid cities as much as I can.
