KANTO (Eastern Honshu)

A geographical area of Honshu. Within its
boundaries, slightly more than 40% of the land area
is the Kanto Plain. The rest consists of the hills and
mountains that form the land borders.

The region includes: Gunma, Tochigi, Ibaraki,
Saitama, Tokyo, Chiba, and Kanagawa.

GUNMA
The province of Gunma is the center of horse breed-
ing for the immigrated continental peoples. The arri-
val of horses coincides with the arrival of a large mi-
gration from the mainland. The horse became a vital
part of Japanese military maneuvers, quickly displac-
ing the older Yayoi tradition of fighting on foot.
