Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question
Other reason
As already mentioned, the differences of intonation/accents, vocabulary are widely seen in Japan.
And as you asked here, yes, Japanese language also has phonetical diversity, although such local phonetics are mostly shifting to one standard due to spread of TV and Internet.
The most famous example should be the voiced velar nasal /ŋ/, which is called as 鼻濁音 in Japanese. You may know ガ行 in Japanese are ga, gi, gu, ge and go, however, under some condition they're pronounced as ŋa, ŋi, ŋu, ŋe, ŋo (like NGA, NGI, NGU, NGE, NGO) in the Eastern dialects, while the Western always pronounce them as /g/. The standard Japanese is based on the one spoken in Tokyo, which originally has /ŋ/ sound, however, the standard Japanese is spoken by many people including those from the West, thus this sound is now being lost gradually.
Other examples are below:
- In Tohoku dialect, イ段 (i, ki, shi,...) is pronounced almost same as ウ段 (u, ku, su,...).
- In some dialects, し (shi /ɕi/) and ひ (hi /çi/) are merged or switched.
- Wakayama dialect does not have /z/ and ザ行 (za, ze, zo) is pronounced as /da/, /de/, /do/.
Those examples are also now decreasing, and almost lost among young people though.

西日本と東日本では鼻濁音の他に、母音を厳格に発音するか、弱く発音（弱化）したり無声化するか、といった違いもあります。
例えば「マクドナルド」は関西ではローマ字表記通り "MAKUDONARUDO" と発音されますが、関東では "makdonald" に近く母音が弱くなります。
そのため略称も関西では「マクド (MAKUDO)」ですが、関東では「マック (mac / makk)」と呼ばれます。
