Sendai　仙台
One of Tohoku’s most popular tourist destinations, Sendai is the region’s largest city and the capital of Miyagi Prefecture.  It was the former stomping grounds of daimyo (warlord) named Date Masamune 伊達正宗, whose shadow still looms over the city in the form of various castles, shrines, and mausoleums – but Sendai also features a host of modern-day attractions such as museums, zoos, and a large marketplace.

Aomori　青森
The Munakata Shiko 棟方志功 Memorial Museum of Art presents the works and achievements of that world-famous woodblock print artist from Aomori.  The Nebuta-matsuri Festival in summer features huge lanterns, and is one of the biggest festivals in the Tohoku region.

Morioka　盛岡
Along the eastern side of the Nakatsu-gawa River 中津川, historical buildings from the 19th and the early 20th centuries, such as merchants' houses and private houses, can be seen. The gentle atmosphere and the nostalgic appearance of this area, which is known as "the capital of forest and water," are a good contrast to the busy atmosphere and the modern appearance of the fashionable shopping area near Morioka Station.

Hiraizumi　平泉
Centuries ago, this city rivaled Kyoto for sheer sophistication.  Today, all that remains of its glory days are a handful of temples that are very much worth visiting.  It’s not for nothing that UNESCO officially recognized the area as a World Heritage Site in 2011.

Akita　秋田
In Akita City, vigorous traditional events are also held. The Akita Kanto Festival 秋田竿灯祭り is held every summer in which performers holding Kanto, the bamboo pole with lighted lanterns, parade. This Kanto weighs about 50 kilograms, and a long main bamboo pole is held upright with nine bamboo poles attached horizontally to the main pole on which 46 lanterns are suspended.
