【Japanese Trip】things to do in Miyagi
Welcome to what the Japan. The theme of this issue is Miyagi Prefecture, the gateway to Tohoku, a treasure trove of sea, festivals, and hot springs. There are 47 prefectures in Japan, each with its own unique charm. In this issue, one of these prefectures is introduced in depth. So, let’s go. This channel introduces a variety of information on Japanese culture, history, tourism, etc. Miyagi Prefecture is located in the southeastern part of the Tohoku region facing the Pacific Ocean and rich in nature with an area of approximately 7,300 km. It is the 16th largest prefecture in Japan with a population of approximately 2.2 million. It is the 14th most populous prefecture in Japan. It is the most populous prefecture in the Tohoku region. The capital of the prefecture is Sendai city. The population of Sai City is approximately 1.1 million and 50% of Miyazaki Prefecture’s residents live in Sai. It is the most well-known city in the Tohoku region and is known as a green and livable city. For this reason, if you ask people from Sai what prefecture they are from, they will answer Sai City, not Miyagi Prefecture. Access from Tokyo is very good with the Shinkansen bullet train taking you to Sai station in about 1 hour and 30 minutes. There is also good access from Sai airport which provides smooth access from Kansai, Fukuoka, Hokkaido and even overseas. Here are five tourist destinations that are particularly popular among foreign travelers. Matsushima. Matsushima is one of the three views of Japan. The three views of Japan are three famous Japanese scenic spots that have been loved by Japanese people since ancient times. The other two will be introduced in another video, so look for them. The spectacular view of more than 260 islands of various sizes has attracted many people since ancient times. A cruise around the bay on a sightseeing boat is a great way to experience the seasonal scenery firsthand. The seab breeze and the mysterious shapes of the islands and their historical backgrounds will help you forget about your daily life. The contrast between the autumn leaves and the islands in autumn is especially worth seeing. Ruins of Sendai Castle. This is the site of Sendai Castle which was once built by Date Masamun, a feudal warlord. The castle itself does not exist today. However, the stone walls and the high ground from which you can see a panoramic view of the city of Sai can be seen. The bronze statue of Date Masamune is particularly popular. A bronze statue of him riding a horse is rare and is a very popular photo spot among tourists. This is a great place not only for those interested in history, but also for those who want to view the city of Sai from above. Aku Anen. This hot spring resort is located about 30 minutes by car from Sai City and is rich in nature. It has been known as a hot spring cure since the Han period 1,200 years ago and has been loved by the locals. Visitors can also enjoy the surrounding scenic spots such as Ayu Great Falls and Ryiko Gorge. A holiday spent soaking in a relaxing hot spring bath and listening to the sounds of nature is truly a superb healing experience. The hot springs are used not only for overnight stays but also for day trip bathing, making it easy to enjoy the hot springs. Zho’s Okama, the crater lake. Okama in the Zhao mountain range is known for its mysterious emerald green color. The circular lake created by volcanic activity changes color depending on the weather which is another attraction of this mysterious phenomenon. In winter, the area is popular among active people who can enjoy ski resorts famous for their ice trees. There is a well-maintained driving course to Okama and the scenery along the way is breathtaking. Sendai Tanabata Festival held annually from August 6th to 8th. This is one of the three major summer festivals in the Dohoku region. It is one of the three major festivals in Tohoku and is crowded with tourists. By the way, you can find the other two festivals in another video. Colorful streamers adorn the arcade streets, overwhelming you with their scale and beauty. The decorations range from adorable works by local children to powerful pieces created by corporations. It is truly a festival created by the community as a whole. Visitors can enjoy the gorgeous decorations during the day and the fantastic atmosphere of lanterns and fireworks at night. The festival is very popular among foreign tourists and is a great opportunity to experience summer in Japan. Here are five must-ry local dishes of Aomorei. Beef tongue. Beef tongue is a classic dish served at Yakaniku restaurants throughout Japan. However, Sendai’s beef tongue is different in its thickness. It is a typical Sendai dish with thick slices of beef tongue slowly grilled over a charcoal fire. The juicy flavor of the beef tongue will keep you coming back for more. Zunda Mochi. Zunda mochi is a Japanese confectionary made with bright green zunda bean paste which is made by mashing edamame soybeans. The chewy rice cake is a perfect match with the slightly sweet beanflavored Zunda. Recently advanced sweets such as Zunda shake and Zunda roll cake have appeared. These healthy Japanese style sweets are also popular among foreign tourists. Haraco Mei, a luxurious bowl of rice topped with a generous amount of salmon row and salmon meat on top of cooked rice. It is a local dish that is popular as a taste of autumn. The taste is only possible in areas where fresh seafood is available. The salmon row and salmon row are in perfect harmony with each other. Sasa kamabokco. Sasa Kamabokco is a fish paste made from white fish and has a distinctive appearance shaped like a bamboo grass leaf. When grilled, it becomes more savory, making it a perfect snack. Recently, there have been many variations, such as with cheese or cod row. They are also popular as souvenirs and can be easily found around Sendai Station. Triangular deep fried tofu. The word deep fried tofu originally conjures up images of a square shape. But in Miyagi Prefecture, this is not the case. Triangular deep fried tofu is a simple but deeply flavored dish made by pouring miso or soy sauce over a triangular piece of deep fried tofu. It is a popular snack in hot spring resorts. nature and city, history and modernity, and seafood and mountain delicacies. Miyagi Prefecture has it all.
