Chubu spans the wide waist of Honshu, from the Sea of Japan coast to the Pacific, and rises to the peaks of the Japan Alps. It takes in the industrial city of Nagoya, the beautifully preserved samurai and geisha districts of Kanazawa, the old merchant town of Takayama, the thatched farmhouses of Shirakawa-go, and the northern approaches to Mount Fuji.
