Look at the sticker in the door sill (i dont know the exact name, but its the driver side part of the car where the door is closes to the seat belt).
There should be a white sticker with a bar code and VIN #. It should indicate the manufacturer on the top of that sticker.

The sticker should say something like:

"Manufactured by Honda of _______"
or
"mfd. in ______"

I dont have a digital camera with me so I can't provide any pictures.

I'll go check my car again to get more specific.
