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.

One of Japan’s three most scenic views is in Miyagi, in the form of Matsushima Island. Visitors can enjoy this beautiful bay area with over 200 tiny islands that are covered with pine trees. Check out our package tour in the Tohoku region if you are interested in discovering the area!
