Honshu (æ¬å·, HonshÅ«, Main Island or Main Province) ([hoÌÉ´êÉÉ¯áµË]) is the largest and most populous island of Japan, located south of Hokkaido across the Tsugaru Strait, north of Shikoku across the Inland Sea, and northeast of Kyushu across the Kanmon Straits.
In March 2011 Japan was struck by a powerful underwater earthquake centered in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Honshu, the countryâs main island. The quake caused widespread damage on land and triggered a series of large tsunami waves that devastated many coastal areas of Japan, most notably northeastern Honshu.
