Tohoku鈥檚 largest and most cosmopolitan city, Sendai, is the ideal staging post for exploration of the region鈥檚 more southerly highlights.
Nearby are the picturesque pine-clad islands of Matsushima Bay, designated one of Japan鈥檚 鈥楾hree Great Sights鈥�, where a gentle boat trip allows visitors to experience first-hand the magical scenery that once is said to have struck dumb Japan鈥檚 foremost poet, Basho.
