MessageIt may have been Ainu territory at one time, but it's not really very different from the rest of Japan now. In 1984, when I attended a conference in Sapporo, I got one of the locals to take me out to an Ainu village not far from the city. I expected to see tall, bearded Caucasoid looking people, but no such luck. The Ainu looked very Japanese. Many generations of interbreeding, I guess.

For several days now I've been seeing references to "northern Japan". The scene of the quake was not northern Japan, it was northern Honshu. You've got all of the island of Hokaido including the city of Sapporo north of that. Nothern Japan indeed!
