Commentary：
中部地方 (
Hiragana: ちゅうぶちほう
Romaji: Chu-u-bu chi-ho-u) is one of the
regional groups in the Japanese archipelago.
Kanji 中部 means "middle part." The Chuubu region comes from the word "middle land between Kannto region and Kannsai region."
Chuubu consists of several prefectures:
静岡県 (
Hiragana: しずおかけん
Romaji: SHi-zu-o-ka ke-nn),
愛知県 (
Hiragana: あいちけん
Romaji: A-i-chi ke-nn),
岐阜県 (
Hiragana: ぎふけん
Romaji: Gi-fu ke-nn),
長野県 (
Hiragana: ながのけん
Romaji: Na-ga-no ke-nn),
富山県 (
Hiragana: とやまけん
Romaji: To-ya-ma ke-nn),
石川県 (
Hiragana: いしかわけん
Romaji: I-shi-ka-wa ke-nn), and so on.
Coastal prefectures are also called
東海地方 (
Hiragana: とうかいちほう
Romaji: To-u-ka-i chi-ho-u) because of their trade industry.
Northern prefectures are also called
北陸地方 (
Hiragana: ほくりくちほう
Romaji: Ho-ku-ri-ku chi-ho-u) because of their mountainous climate.
