Miyagi Prefecture is a region where nature and urban attractions harmoniously coexist. Its central city, Sendai, known as the “City of Trees,” boasts lush greenery alongside the largest commercial and cultural hub in the Tohoku region. At the same time, the prefecture is home to diverse destinations, such as the historically rich Ishinomaki, the majestic Zao mountain range, and Matsushima, renowned for its seasonal scenic beauty.
In addition, Naruko Onsen and Akiu Onsen are not merely tourist spots but have long served as cherished centers of relaxation and culture for the local people. Naruko Onsen, with a history spanning over a thousand years, remains a vibrant hub of traditional therapeutic hot spring culture. Meanwhile, Akiu Onsen, beloved by the lords of the Sendai Domain during the feudal era, retains its historical significance even today. These onsen areas not only offer abundant hot spring waters but also provide a deep connection to the local way of life and cultural heritage, making them uniquely captivating.
