Beyond Tokyo: Discover Miyagi’s Islands, Samurai & Signature Dish! 🇯🇵🌊🍖

Think Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka are all Japan has to offer? It is time to head north to Miyagi. First, visit Matsushima. With over 200 small islands covered in pine trees floating in a peaceful bay, it is known as one of Japan’s top three scenic views. Next, walk through the Sendai Castle ruins. The castle itself is gone, but the statue of Date Masamoon still stands strong. You can feel the spirit of the samurai just by being there. Finally, try something you will never forget. Gutan or grilled beef tongue is a specialty of Sai. It is rich, smoky, and full of flavor. So, do not stop at the usual cities. Explore what is waiting for you in Miyagi. If you want tips or have questions about traveling in Miyagi, send us a DM. We are happy to help.

Then it is time to head north to Miyagi, a region filled with coastal beauty, historical depth, and local flavor.

Start with Matsushima, one of Japan’s official “Three Most Scenic Views.” Over 200 small islands covered in pine trees float peacefully across a blue bay. It is a landscape that looks like a painting.

Next, visit the Sendai Castle Ruins, where the statue of Date Masamune, a famous samurai warlord, watches over the city. The original castle is gone, but the samurai spirit still lingers in the stone walls and panoramic views.

And finally, taste Sendai’s signature dish: gyutan. This grilled beef tongue is smoky, tender, and full of rich flavor. It is a must-try that you will not forget.
