You are probably right, it's not in Honshu.

One of area I thought was Hokkaido, because it somehow justify Eva's reasoning about "to the sea". Since Hokkaido means "the way to the northern sea". Plus at the time trains used go to the sea through train ferries to reach Hokkaido, therefore matching the ayu analogy perfectly.

However if Eva knew the homeland already, thinking about Hokkaido wouldn't be such a great find.

I think you need to try to solve the riddle in a more consistent way. If the homeland is "korea" and the river that runs through it is the "DMZ" then at this point you are supposed to follow the river downstream. The kanji used means "down" without any possible doubt of interpretation. So how can the village be Pyongyang if it is on the northern part?
