A Fresh Perspective on Travel Every Day
Tohoku, Japan’s far north, is a land of elemental nature that hosts a wealth of fascinating ancient customs, mythical legends, and long-held traditions. The people who call Tohoku home understand the value of a moment and the preciousness of life.
Japan’s ‘deep north’, the largely rural Tōhoku region is home to craft traditions that have been handed down over generations. A trip to this little-visited swathe of the country offers a chance to see skilled artisans at work – and find a unique souvenir – just a train ride or two from Tokyo.
