Today, I’d like to talk about north,
‘northern,’ and ‘north of.’ This is a map of Japan.
and north Japan is Hokkaido
and sometimes Tohoku. Sometimes just this prefecture, Aomori.
This is north Japan.
This is also northern Japan.
If you say Northern Japan, you are probably talking about Hokkaido or
and Tohoku and not anywhere down here.
That’s north Japan and northern Japan.
But north of Japan is
up here. It’s Russia. Russia is north
of Japan. Northern
Japan is Hokkaido and Tohoku. North of
Japan is Russia. There’s the difference between
these three words. ‘North’ and ‘northern’ are similar
‘North of’ means up here.
