Known as one of Japan’s most famous mountains, the Zao Mountain Range between Miyagi and Yamagata prefectures offers many experiences for those who love the outdoors. One of the top attractions many come to see is the Okama Crater due to its stunning water, known as Goshikinuma (the pond of five colors). Depending on the lighting and viewing spot, the color of the water changes, giving the crater a magical feel. Though the crater is not accessible up close, visitors can view the lake at the Mount Zao Rest House or, be adventurous and hike the “Umanose” path that leads to the top of Mount Kumanodake to see the astounding view. 
Enjoy other activities in the area such as Mount Kattadake, home of the Kattamine Shrine. Other places in the area include a visitor center and a restaurant. Enjoy and take a rest at the Zao Onsen, accessible via the Zao Ropeway.

位于宫城县和山形县之间的藏王山脉被誉为日本最著名的山脉之一，为喜爱户外活动的游客提供了许多体验。其中，冈间火山口是许多人慕名而来的景点之一，因为这里有被称为五色池（Goshikinuma）的迷人水景。根据光线和观赏地点的不同，水的颜色也会发生变化，给人一种神奇的感觉。虽然无法近距离观赏火山口，但游客可以在藏王山休息所观赏湖水，或者冒险徒步攀登通往熊野岳山顶的 "Umanose "小径，欣赏令人惊叹的美景。 
您还可以到该地区的其他景点游玩，例如拥有 Kattamine 神社的 Kattadake 山。该地区的其他景点包括游客中心和餐厅。您还可以通过藏王缆车前往藏王温泉，尽情享受温泉带来的乐趣。

水的颜色会随着光线和观赏地点的不同而变化，给火山口增添了神奇的色彩。浏览附近的美食体验和餐馆！

Okama Crater

In the Tohoku region, Miyagi Prefecture occupies a large part of the eastern side of Japan on the Pacific Coast. Cradled between scenic coastlines and mountainous landscapes, Miyagi is famous for its seafood. A luxurious harakomeshi is a classic Miyagi dish of rice with the belly meat of fatty salmon, sprinkled with salmon roe marinated in soy sauce. Miyagi Prefecture also offers fantastic skiing in the winter and stunning coastal scenery, namely the celebrated Matsushima Bay. Considered one of Japan’s three most beautiful views, Matsushima sees pine trees clustered over more than 200 rocky islets, starkly mingling across clear ocean waters. Nourish the body soaking in the healing waters of Naruko Onsen, while the flaming fall foliage around Naruko Gorge proves unbelievably beautiful. Meanwhile, the mountains and forests of the Zao region in southwest Miyagi are symbolized by the Okama Crater beside the summit of Mount Zao. 

The Hirose River wiggles its way through the city of Sendai, Miyagi’s capital that’s best explored by bike. Richly flavored and soft in texture, Sendai is lovingly associated with its quality gyutan (beef tongue), the representative dish of Miyagi Prefecture. Aged and thinly sliced before hitting the grill, beef tongue is succulent and soft, typically served with a side of beef tail soup. Built in 1600, Aoba Castle (Aoba-jo) overlooks the city and resides by the colorful mausoleum, Zuihoden, enshrining the powerful daimyo Masamune Date. Each year in the fall, family and friends enjoy stewing Sendai imoni hot pots around riverbanks alfresco-style, a long-lived tradition flavored with miso, root vegetables, konnyaku, and pork. Bright green zundamochi is a Miyagi Prefecture signature sweet, while the local fish cake in the shape of a bamboo grass leaf is known as sasa kamaboko. Miyagi is abundant with glorious mountainscapes and natural parks, featuring tasty local cuisine and quality seafood.

宫城县位于东北地区，占日本东部太平洋沿岸的很大一部分。宫城县坐落在风景优美的海岸线和山地之间，以海鲜而闻名。宫城县的经典美食 "鲑鱼饭"（harakomeshi）是一种奢华的鲑鱼饭，米饭中夹着肥美的鲑鱼腹肉，撒上用酱油腌制的鲑鱼子。宫城县冬季还可以滑雪，海岸风光迷人，松岛湾就是其中之一。松岛湾被誉为日本三大美景之一，200 多个岩石小岛上松树成群，与清澈的海水交相辉映。浸泡在鸣子温泉的疗养水中，滋养身体，鸣子峡谷周围火红的红叶美不胜收。此外，宫城县西南部藏王地区的山脉和森林以藏王山山顶旁的大釜火山口为象征。 

广濑川蜿蜒流过仙台市，仙台市是宫城县的首府，最适合骑自行车游览。仙台牛舌味道鲜美、口感柔软，是宫城县的代表美食。牛舌在烤制之前已经老化并切成薄片，鲜嫩多汁，通常搭配牛尾汤一起食用。建于 1600 年的青叶城（青叶城）俯瞰着这座城市，城内有一座色彩斑斓的陵墓--瑞宝殿，里面供奉着权倾朝野的大名伊达政宗。每年秋天，亲朋好友都会在河边享受露天炖仙台伊莫尼火锅的乐趣，这是一种由来已久的传统，用味噌、根菜、魔芋和猪肉炖制。宫城县的招牌甜点是翠绿色的 "尊达莫奇"（zundamochi），而竹叶形状的当地鱼糕则被称为 "sasa kamaboko"。宫城县拥有丰富绚丽的山景和自然公园，当地美食和优质海鲜美味可口。

NOT SURE WHERE TO GO?

The archipelago of Japan consists of four main islands, eight regions of Japan, and a total of 47 prefectures between them, each with their own diverse traditions, culture, food, and history. Hokkaido is the main northern island, followed by Honshu (home to Tohoku, Kanto, Chubu, Kansai, and Chugoku), Shikoku, Kyushu, and the Okinawa islands to the southwest.

Discover the unique offerings of each region by checking out the Japan areas above, like the coastal prefecture of Shizuoka (home to hot springs, Mt. Fuji, and a booming agricultural industry) and Nara Prefecture (which boasts eight UNESCO World Heritage Sites). While Japan might be perceived as a tiny country (the archipelago is smaller than the state of California), the nation is diverse in climate and culture. Each area of Japan has its own staple produce and regional Japanese cuisine.

Not only can you explore the popular destinations of Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto, but there are also a variety of other areas in Japan ranging from adventurous spots for daredevils to super-rural areas where visitors can connect with the land and people. From climbing Mt. Fuji in Shizuoka to indulging in matcha tea in Uji to enjoying island life in Okinawa (considered to be Japan’s Hawaii), these Japan areas each offer diverse experiences and ample opportunity for exploration. To make your Japan travel planning a little easier, browse these area pages where you can discover Japan tourist attractions, Japanese food experiences, and more!

Delve into Japanese food culture, discovering the distinctive and diverse range of Japanese dishes which are sometimes sophisticated, sometimes hearty and comforting, but always delicious. These Japanese foods offer a window into the world of “washoku” (Japanese cuisine), which made UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage List in 2013.	


There’s worldwide appreciation for Japanese food, with Tokyo boasting the world’s highest number of Michelin-starred restaurants for the 12th year in a row in 2019. Not only is Japan home to some of the best chefs and restaurants in the world, but the Japanese cuisine (“washoku”) is also celebrated as one of UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritages. The main staples of Japanese food include rice (in various forms from steamed white rice to mochi), soy products (tofu, soy sauce, miso soup, natto), fish (sashimi, bonito flakes, grilled salmon), seaweed (kombu, nori, wakame), noodles (soba, udon, ramen), and tsukemono (Japanese pickles). Different regions of Japan also have their own specialty foods. Osaka, considered “The Nation’s Kitchen” is the birthplace of takoyaki, Kyoto is famous for tofu and yuba, and Okinawa is known for goya champuru (bittermelon stir fry). Many regions in Japan have their own special twists on dishes like Japanese ramen, nabe (hot pot), and ozoni (mochi soup eaten on New Year’s Day). Explore the Japanese foods above and learn about the diversity of Japanese cuisine, then perhaps you can join a food experience and learn to make Japanese food during a cooking class, become an expert on Japanese sake or tea during a tasting experience, or discover your new favorite type of ramen during a ramen tour. The landscape of Japanese food is evolving, so eating in Japan is always an adventure, with restaurants and chefs riffing on traditional and modern foods, Eastern and Western cooking styles and flavors, and creating inventive eats like chocolate ramen, matcha beer, or ridiculously pillowy Japanese pancakes.
