Japan is an archipelago of several thousand islands stretching from Hokkaido in the north to Okinawa in the south, and Shikoku forms one of its four main landmasses. Sushi, ramen and tempura are eaten throughout the country, with regional differences in broth and seasoning that vary from one prefecture to the next. The country has four distinct seasons, with hot humid summers and cold winters that bring snow in the north. Japanese has polite and honorific registers, and regional dialects differ noticeably in vocabulary and pitch, which shapes even a simple order at a café counter.
