  You have a unit in the current battle, so you have Presence.
  You are targeting a card in the current battle (since costs target as well), so you have Relevance.
  Then, does this mean that Regions are considered to be cards in the Battlefield, or in the battle, at the Province they are attached to? I suppose your answer will be YES.
  Could be a Region bowed by a Well Prepared (suppose I have played a Terrain before and remains in play)?
  It sounds strange to me, because Regions are attached to Provinces, but I have never seen a rule that they are on the battlefield in the same way as units, Terrains or Formations.
  Please, Could you confirm this point?
  A) Regions are considered in the battlefield whenever are battles in the Provinces they are attached to B) Regions are never in the battlefield
  A: A). (But they are not in the defending army and are not opposing any attacking cards.) Martin Lund, "Rules for 30 November 2004", 3 Dec 2004
• Q: Again, I have to remember my question on Tarako was misunderstanding by Jeff Alexander. Then, is not covered yet.
  The problem was that Tarako is at battlefield in Province B, the current battle is in Province A, and Jeff Alexander's answer holds on "You are using an ability on a card in the current battle", which is only true if Tarako would be at battlefield in Province A. But his location is Province B.
  I am waiting the answer to my original question.
  I have a Utaku Tarako and Shinjo Yushiro in play. I have a Region attached to my Province A (blank text). The enemy leader has a Kuon Exp. 3 in play, with no cards attached.
  The enemy leader declares an attack against me. Assigns Kuon to Province B. I assign Tarako to defend this Province B. Yushiro defends Province A.
  The enemy leader starts the battle in Province A. Now I want as my first battle action:
  - To use the Tarako's battle action. Destroy Region attached to Province A.Target Kuon. Destroy Kuon.
  Is it legal?
  A: Yes.
  You have a unit in the current battle, so you have Presence.
  You are targeting a card in the current battle (since costs target as well), so you have Relevance. Martin Lund, "Rules for 24 November 2004", 26 Nov 2004
• Q: Hello,
  Question 1:
  I have a Utaku Tarako and Shinjo Yushiro in play. I have a Region attached to my Province A (blank text). The enemy leader has a Kuon Exp. 3 in play, with no cards attached.
  The enemy leader declares an attack against me. Assigns Kuon to Province B. I assign Tarako to defend this Province B. Yushiro defends Province A.
  The enemy leader starts the battle in Province A. Now I want as my first battle action:
  - To use the Tarako's battle action. Destroy Region attached to Province A.Target Kuon. Destroy Kuon.
  Is it legal?
  A: Yes. You have a unit in the current battle, so you have Presence. You are using an ability on a card in the current battle, so you have Relevance. Martin Lund, "Rules for 17 November 2004", 22 Nov 2004
• Q: Question 2:
  Same with Shinjo Reizo instead Shinjo Yushiro. The difference is that destroy the Region where Reizo is at lower Reizo's Force by 2.
  Is it legal?
  A: Yes. (Reizo's Force change does not matter in any way. It is not directly affected by Tarako's action.) Martin Lund, "Rules for 17 November 2004", 22 Nov 2004
