When we think of Japan, a multitude of images linked to our collective imagination come to mind: Buddhism, manga, samurai, sushi, prints or Zen... Yet behind these familiar images, the Archipelago reveals little-known territories with strong identities. Tōhoku, a vast region in northern Honshu, is one of the finest examples. Forested mountains, unspoilt villages, hot springs and ancestral festivals: here, tradition is lived daily, to the rhythm of the seasons. Harsh winters strengthen bonds, while summer festivities bring crowds together. Struck by the 2011 earthquake and tsunami, Tōhoku also embodies resilience. Today, the region offers travelers a sincere and serene face of the country, far from the clichés. To explore Tōhoku is to discover a cheerful, authentic and welcoming Japan. Here are a few keys to a better understanding of this fascinating country and region.
