Miyagi Prefecture

Miyagi (宮城県, Miyagi-ken) is a beautiful prefecture along the Pacific coast of southern Tohoku. Its capital, Sendai, is the region’s largest city, known for its greenery, modern atmosphere, and historical significance. Just a short trip away lies Matsushima, a charming coastal town famous for its breathtaking bay views—ranked among Japan’s top three scenic sights.

In 2011, Miyagi was deeply affected by the tsunami disaster, and its recovery has come to symbolize resilience and hope. Today, visitors can experience not only the natural beauty and coastal tranquility of Miyagi, but also its warm hospitality and cultural richness. From peaceful seaside walks to the energy of city life, the prefecture offers a travel experience that is both serene and inspiring.
