Prefectures of JAPAN (Geography Now!)

ちょうど日本の47都道府県特集が出てきましたので、

今回は久しぶりのGeography Nowの動画を見てみましょう！

芸風として、結構早口なので0.75倍速で聞いてもいいかもしれませんが、

難しい単語は少ないので、ネイティブスピードで聞く練習をしてもOKです。

カジュアルな言い回しも多いので、フランクな日常会話の表現も多数学べます。

こういう海外動画ではトンデモ日本文化が紹介されることもありますが、

 結構的を得ている紹介で、ちゃんと調べてるなと思いましたｗ

それでは今日もYouTube英語を楽しんでいきましょう！

00:00

00:10
list of options and the slight majority
00:12

00:14

00:16
probably wondering barbs you wear
00:17

00:18

00:21
you're like me and you're constantly
00:22

00:25
have to make videos like this Sykes's
00:27

00:29
eye strain from staring that I'd monitor
00:30

00:48
or a geographer now a mug as well lots
00:50
of cool stuff so first thing you got to
00:51
know about Japan is that it is made up
00:53
of four main islands Hokkaido in the
00:55
North Honshu Kyushu and Shikoku and you
00:58
got the outlier Ryukyu Islands
01:00
but basically four big main islands and
01:01
within these islands there are eight
01:04
regions and within these eight regions
01:06
you have 47 prefectures we're gonna
01:08
divide these prefixes by the regions
01:10
that they're from instead of going
01:11
alphabetically because then we would
01:12
like hop all over the map and that
01:14
wouldn't make sense we're gonna start
01:15
from north and goes south so here we go
01:16
the northernmost region Hokkaido
01:18
Hokkaido is unique because the entire
01:20
island is within itself a region and a
01:23
Prefecture capital is Sapporo
01:25
which is also well where the beer comes
01:26
from it's kind of like the Alaska of
01:28
Japan they have the native indigenous
01:30
Ainu people they have their own language
01:31
and customs and traditions lots of
01:33
beautiful nature and Hokkaido is also
01:35
kind of the place where they have that
01:37
Kuril Islands pute with Russia
