Summer Itinerary in Tohoku

Basic introduction：

Located in the northern part of Honshu, Japan’s Tohoku region includes six prefectures—Aomori, Iwate, Miyagi, Akita, Yamagata, and Fukushima. It is known for its vast natural beauty, rich traditions, and distinct seasonal landscapes. From cherry blossoms at Hirosaki Castle in spring and the Nebuta Festival in summer to the autumn colors of Oirase Gorge and the winter “snow monsters” of Mt. Zao, each season offers a unique experience. With abundant hot springs, deep cultural heritage, and renowned local cuisine such as Sendai gyutan and Sanriku seafood, Tohoku is an ideal destination for a slower, immersive journey.
