Introducing Miyagi-ken
Miyagi-ken is a paradoxical gateway between the very rural areas to the north and the rest of Honshū. Its capital, Sendai, is Tohokū’s most cosmopolitan city, a fun destination with excellent tourist support and a lively nightlife. Date Masamune developed Sendai into a major culture and trade centre in the 1600s. Miyagi-ken has several attractions, including Naruko Onsen, a great spot for onsen enthusiasts, and Matsushima, a bay studded with atmospheric pine-covered islands, immortalised by Bashō and popular with Japanese sightseers.
