Miyagi

City Overview

Miyagi Prefecture developed around Sendai Castle and a castle town built by Date Masamune. The city of Sendai, the prefectural capital, is known as the "forest capital" because the city has a lot of greenery. Matsushima, one of the three views of Japan, is attractive for its beautiful landscapes and historic buildings such as Zuiganji. Naruko Hot Springs boasts a history of 1,200 years, and its natural beauty also stands out, including the mysterious Mount Zao, with its emerald green crater lake. On the cultural side, the Sendai Tanabata Festival and traditional crafts have been handed down, and specialty products such as beef tongue and sasa kamaboko are also familiar. In addition, it also plays an important role as a transportation hub such as the Tohoku Shinkansen and Sendai Airport.
