Miyagi Hidden Gems
Porte du Tohoku, avec Sendai pour centre. La baie de Matsushima, avec ses 260 îles, est l'un des trois plus beaux paysages du Japon. Le mausolée doré Zuihoden, la langue de bœuf grillée (gyutan) et le village de renards de Zao complètent un point de départ idéal pour explorer le nord-est.
20 spots
