<strong>Japan</strong>'s Regions<br />
Do you have to open your franchise in Tokyo?<br />
Central <strong>Japan</strong><br />
Central <strong>Japan</strong>:<br />
The Chubu region has the third biggest population in <strong>Japan</strong>. The area<br />
consists of nine prefectures: Gifu, Shizuoka, Fukui, Ishikawa, Aichi, Mie,<br />
Nagano, Toyama and Yamanashi. The region accounts for 17% of<br />
<strong>Japan</strong>'s GDP, and nearly 70% of <strong>Japan</strong>'s total trade surplus with the<br />
United States. The biggest city is Nagoya with 2.2 million inhabitants<br />
and is <strong>Japan</strong>'s fourth largest city.<br />
The majority of industry is concentrated in the four prefectures of<br />
Aichi, Gifu, Mie, and Shizuoka. The region is the main centre of <strong>Japan</strong>'s<br />
processing industry and approximately 20% of <strong>Japan</strong>'s industrial<br />
production occurs here.<br />
The region's infrastructure has been greatly extended around the<br />
Aichi-Expo site. The Chubu Airport Centrai has daily connections to<br />
Europe and a there is a new logistical hub for DHL. There has also been<br />
a certain trend, discernible for decades, for companies to relocate their<br />
headquarters away from Tokyo back to the Chubu area.
