Azure skies. Mountains, sea, and countryside. Simple local character gives birth to traditional crafts.
This serene pastoral scene does not depict the popular Hokkaido among Chinese travelers today, but rather the Tohoku region of Japan, the focus of this introduction — a hidden paradise that rivals Hokkaido in nature, cuisine, and culture.
Among them, Miyagi Prefecture, located at the heart of the Tohoku region, boasts Matsushima, one of Japan’s Three Great Views, Mount Zao where you can enjoy skiing while admiring frost-covered trees, and the beautiful cultural city of Sendai, known as the “City of Trees.” Many other fascinating sights await discovery. Years ago, the renowned Chinese writer Lu Xun studied at Sendai Medical College during his youth, laying the foundation for his later literary career. In recent years, the popularity of Japanese cherry blossoms in China has soared, and the pink-hued blooms in Matsushima also originate from here.
Deeply attracted by the picturesque landscapes and rich cultural heritage of Miyagi Prefecture, two Chinese TV travel shows conducted in-depth coverage of the area, showcasing its natural scenery, traditional crafts, food culture, and various unique events through their lenses, revealing the distinctive charm of Miyagi.
The programs introduce not only the natural and cultural highlights of Miyagi but also offer great-value travel packages.
We sincerely invite you to watch the shows and then embark on your own journey to Miyagi, immersing yourself fully in its natural beauty and culture.
