宮城県
Miyagi
Miyagi is the hub of the Tohoku region, and its capital Sendai is the region's largest city. It grew as a castle town built by the warlord Date Masamune. The prefecture draws many visitors with the scenic beauty of Matsushima—one of Japan's "three great views"—its signature grilled beef tongue, and the summer Sendai Tanabata Festival.
