Though not far from civilization, Miyagi’s undulating mountains, long coastline, deep forests and winding rivers retain the primal feel of wilderness. The atmosphere is as well suited for quiet contemplation as it is for exciting outdoor adventures.

Miyagi has a tremendous variety of landscapes and outdoor experiences that are convenient to access. Hike through forested mountains to reach majestic overlooks, picnic under blossoming cherry trees, explore Miyagi’s jagged coastline by bicycle, relax in an outdoor hot spring bath, ride a boat through a scenic bay, cool off on sandy island beaches caressed by ocean breezes. By no means a summer-only destination, Miyagi’s nature can be enjoyed anew each season, from the crisp blue skies and pure white snow of winter, to the flowers of spring, to the fiery-hued landscapes of fall.
