Introduction of City

Miyagi Prefecture lies to the south west of the Tohoku region, and faces the Pacific Ocean. The Kitakamigawa river runs south through the north eastern part of the prefecture, while the Abukumagawa river runs north through the southern part of the prefecture. Miyagi Prefecture is 6,862.10km2 in size. Sendai City, where the prefectural government is based, has a population of approximately 1.02 million, and is an ordinance-designated city. Sendai is the largest city in the Tohoku region and a convergence point for government offices including national government branches and agencies, as well as corporate headquarters and branch offices. Visitors throng to Sendai in summer for the famous Sendai Tanabata Festival, one of the three major festivals of the Tohoku region, while Sendai Plain is famous for the great daimyo (feudal lord) Date Masamune dating back to the Sengoku (warring states) period. Today Sendai Plain is one of Japan’s leading grain growing regions, while the Kuroshio (the Japan Current) and the Oyashio (the Chishima Current) converge off the Sanriku coast which extends from central Miyagi Prefecture and along the coastlines of Iwate and Aomori and is renowned for being one of the three largest fishing grounds in the world, filled with schools of bonito and mackerel.
