LatestDeparting from Sendai Station in Miyagi, we drive along the Pacific coast to Sanriku. Struck by a devastating tsunami, the region has risen with resilience, 15 years on.
One of the most appealing features of Japan's national road network is the various Michinoeki, literally way stations, that provide a place for motorists to rest, dine and shop. They offer information on the locality and restaurants with regional specialties, and often sell local crafts and delicacies for travelers to take home. A stop at one or more of these spots helps to make any road trip in Japan unforgettable.
