  • Mt. Kattadake (Mt. Zao)
    Travel / Tourism
    Miyagi Prefecture
    A mountain located on the border between Miyagi Prefecture and Yamagata Prefecture. This is the third highest mountain in the Zao Mountain Range with an altitude of 1,758 meters. The Zao High Line mountain toll road is open from the end of April to the beginning of November, making it possible to drive up close to the summit. From the end of October until the official closing date, it's impassable at night, too. Kattamine-jinja Shrine's mountain sanctuary is on the summit, as well as a stone monument in recognition of Date Munetaka's great achievements; he prayed here at the time of a large eruption. There's also a view of Okama crater lake at Mt. Goshikidake just a five-minute walk from the parking lot. The color of the water changes dramatically depending on the weather.

  • Mt. Tatsugane
    Travel / Tourism
    Miyagi Motoyoshi-gun Minamisanrikucho
    This sacred mountain is located on the board between Kesennuma City and Minami-Sanriku Town. The summit is the primary viewing spot in the town and offers a panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean and the rias-type coast. It is famous for its mountain azaleas, and in mid-May, they bloom so lushly that they seem to cover the whole mountainside. The contrast between the flaming red mountain and the blue ocean is a one of Sanriku’s greatest sights, something one cannot see anywhere else. There are 11 sutra mounds at the summit of the mountain, and they are said to have a deep connection to the Oshu Fujiwara clan of medieval daimyo.

    Mt. Kurikoma is 1,626 meters high and overlaps the three prefectures of Akita, Iwate and Miyagi. The Sukawa Highland halfway up is famed for the hot springs bubbling up and steaming away, and the green spring beech trees give way to beautiful reds and yellows in fall, for year round beauty.

  • Mt. Tokusenjosan
    Travel / Tourism
    Miyagi Prefecture
    This 711-meter mountain is at the boundary between Kesennuma City and the former town of Motoyoshi. It's very famous for viewing azaleas from the middle to the end of May when the whole place bursts into a beautiful scene of red and green. With about 500,000 plants covering a range of 50 hectares, the colorful scenery reaches from the mountain summit to the Pacific Ocean. It takes about 45 minutes from the trail head to the summit, making it accessible to beginners as well, assuming they have the proper clothing and other hiking items. Expect big crowds on Saturdays and Sundays during the season. If you want to take your time and enjoy it, we recommend going on weekdays.
