A general term for the six Tohoku prefectures (Aomori, Iwate, Akita, Yamagata, Miyagi, and Fukushima). Until the end of the Edo period, this region was known by two names, Dewa and Mutsu, but after the Meiji period, these two names were combined to form the name Ou region. Recently, it has mostly been called the Tohoku region, and the name is only used for the Ou Main Line.

東北6県 (青森,岩手,秋田,山形,宮城,福島) の総称。江戸時代末までこの地方は出羽,陸奥の2つの名で呼ばれていたが,明治以降は,この2つの名を合せて奥羽地方の名が使われるようになった。最近はほとんど東北地方と称され,奥羽本線にその呼称をとどめるにすぎない。
