Miyagi Prefecture is located in the center of the Tohoku region, about 300 kilometers northeast of Japan's capital, Tokyo, and is divided into four distinct regions: Sanriku, North Pref, Sendai/Matsushima, and South Pref. It is characterized by a cold climate throughout the year, with not so hot summers. Sendai City, the prefectural capital, is famous as the "City of Trees. Surrounded by the Pacific Ocean to the east and the Ou Mountains to the west, the prefecture has a lot of nature, and industries that take advantage of nature are flourishing. In particular, rice cultivation is flourishing and the city produces many brand-name rice products. Miyagi Prefecture's three major specialties are sunda (rice flour), sasakamama (fish cake), and beef tongue. Especially for sasakamama, visitors can try their hand at baking sasakamama and taste the freshly baked product they have made. Local delicacies include "harako meshi" (harako rice cooked with plenty of salmon and salmon roe) and "zunda mochi" (rice cake with bright green zunda bean paste), both of which are famous in Miyagi Prefecture, the largest white salmon catch in the world. In terms of sightseeing, we recommend the Zao Kitsune Village, where you can see many foxes, and the Matsushima Island Tour Boat, where you can enjoy all that Miyagi Prefecture has to offer in terms of nature. The charm of Miyagi Prefecture lies in the fact that you can not only see but also feel and experience nature close at hand.
