Tohoku, also located in northern Japan, comes in second place. Other areas with good air quality include Shikoku Island and parts of Kyushu Island towards the southern part of Japan. The Japanese government has taken steps to improve air quality by promoting renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power, encouraging public transportation use, and enforcing stricter emissions regulations for factories and vehicles.
