EAST JAPAN
A rail journey through Japan’s relatively under-explored Tohoku
region provides a unique perspective on the area, enabling
travellers to stop and engage with spectacular mountain
scenery, vibrant culture and adventure activities. This vivid
photographic portrait of Tohoku, shot on a five-day train
odyssey, features steaming hot springs, towering ‘ice monsters’,
heaped bowlfuls of ramen and colourful kabuki theatre.
