[edit] Background
Honshu has many background culture in Honshu. For instance the Leader of the buddist temple Confussious came to the land of japan for a very important ceremony.
[edit] population
From the provisional 2005 Japanese census, adding up the 34 prefectures which are mainly on Honshu island give a 2005 population of about 103,300,000. Does anyone know which cities/towns/villages of these 34 prefectures are not on Honshu island so we can get a more accurate count? In nay case, I believe the above figure should not overestimate the actual figure by more than 2%. Polaron | Talk 15:28, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
- Are you trying to distinguish the population of Honshu the island from that of Honshu the collection of prefectures? If so, the difference should be quite small. In Tokyo, there are the Izu Islands and the Ogasawara Islands; in Niigata, there's Sado. The Oki Islands in Shimane. Awaji in Hyogo. Etajima. Itsukushima. See List of islands of Japan.
