Miyagi
While Miyagi prefecture in the northeastern part of Japan’s main island might not be a typical destination for international tourists, it is an interesting destination for those who love nature and for tourists who are interested in the region’s recovery after the March 2011 earthquake that devastated parts of the region. In this travel guide, you can see that there are beautiful things to discover in the area.
