Summary of Summer Festivals and Tourist Attractions in Tohoku
Tohoku is also famous for delicious seafood from the seas and fresh ingredients from the mountains.
There are many nationally famous hot springs and scenic spots as well, making it a great place to get away from the stress of daily life.
If the sightseeing spot is in the mountains, you can avoid the heat as the temperature is much cooler at night.

Japan's Tohoku region is a great place for solo travelers, couples, families and friends to travel.
During Obon, many tourists come to visit the three major festival of Tohoku, so we recommend making reservations early, before the hotels are fully booked.
