4 Days in Tohoku, Japan’s Northeastern Treasureland
Japan’s northeastern region of Tohoku was once considered a remote, inaccessible land. Today, the Tohoku Shinkansen and other modes of transport have made it easier than ever to explore its unique traditions, uncrowded historical districts, and stunning natural scenery.
To uncover what this fascinating region had to offer, I, Noam Katz, set out on a short journey to three of Tohoku’s six prefectures: Fukushima, Yamagata, and Akita.
This autumn staple of Yamagata Prefecture comes to our kitchen in Tokyo with the help of a friend from the region.
Good news if you want to get there even faster than a speeding bullet train can right now.
This preserved Tohoku building goes from completely devastated to practically unharmed in just a few floors.
Rather than forget the horrors of the disaster, this coastal town has set up daily reminders of the tsunami on the streets.
Donations will be made for each person who runs a search for information about the tragedy, with funds helping farmers, students, and those suffering from depression and loneliness.
Gentle giant Pokémon is helping prefecture damaged in Tohoku earthquake and tsunami recover.
Customers who were curious about the smiling foreign workers ringing up their order at this local konbini can now learn a little bit about what they have in common.
The conclusion of our slow-life adventure to Japan’s northernmost prefecture with trains, hot springs, and so muh delicious seafood.
Skip the Shinkansen and savor the journey with Japan’s ultra-affordable unlimited-use one-day rail passes.
The tear-jerking video encourages viewers to “Search for 3.11” on the anniversary to help support reconstruction in the region.
Ethereally romantic images remind us why a wintertime visit to a snow-covered onsen resort is extra special.
Adorably awesome Pokémon train is part of disaster relief project for tsunami-damaged region.
