Tohoku travel guides

87 articles

Tohoku, the northern third of Honshu, is Japan's most underrated region — samurai towns, deep hot spring culture, and dramatic coastlines with a fraction of the crowds found further south. Highlights include the golden halls of Hiraizumi, Matsushima Bay, the snow monsters of Mount Zao, and Sendai's Tanabata festival. These guides cover the region's cities, onsen towns, and seasonal highlights.
