(Beautiful scenery and this fascinating locality warm the heart of the traveler)
The unique climate of the Tohoku region comes from its complex geography and weather. The peoples’ love toward their land shows in the honest and friendly atmosphere of the region and in the intense popularity of traditional “festivals”. Tohoku is also an area of active rice cultivation, known as the granary of Japan. In the summer, rows of paddy fields create a beautiful landscape. Northern tohoku is the northernmost area of Honshu and covers three prefectures – Aomori, Akita and Iwate. This is a region rich in nature, including a world heritage listed primary forest. Southern Tohoku is home to Sendai, the largest city in Tohoku called the “forest capital”, and Fukushima, which contains Aizu Wakamatsu city, overlooking the magnificent Mt.Bandai and a prosperous castle town in the past.
