About Tohoku
This rural northern Honshu region represents Japan's agricultural heartland where cherry blossoms explode across valleys each spring and harvest festivals celebrate local harvests. Isolated mountain villages maintain traditional customs while coastal towns preserve maritime heritage. Tohoku was tragically impacted by the 2011 earthquake and tsunami but rebuilding honors tsunami heritage sites.
