Could you clear up pitch accent in Eastern Tohoku? This page on Wikipedia says that the area has "no accent" https://goo.gl/qNQDnR . Couldn't you just speak with that accent and be indistinguishable from a native speaker? I'm sure I'm just missing something, but I'm confused.

Although it is unfortunate, in mainstream Japanese culture, the "no accent" dialects are often made fun of, and used as a stereotype for being uncultured/a hillbilly. Perhaps similar to a southern accent in America.

Ah I see. That makes sense now. I guess it would be even worse for a foreigner with that accent.

My Japanese isn't good enough to read this easily, but I also found this page https://goo.gl/qpCLP8 which seems to be about dialects where everything is unaccented.
