Tohoku Heritage Sites

The Tohoku region preserves a vast timeline of Japanese history, from the primeval beech forests of Shirakami-Sanchi to the 12th-century Buddhist "Pure Land" architecture of Hiraizumi. This collection features UNESCO World Heritage sites like the gold-leafed Konjikidō at Chūson-ji and the industrial ruins of the Hashino iron mining site. It also includes prehistoric Jōmon-period shell mounds, preserved Edo-period post stations like Ōuchi-juku, and geographical monuments marking the 40th parallel and Honshu's easternmost point.
