Tagajō, Historical castle ruins in Miyagi Prefecture, Japan
The city of Tagajō spreads across 19.64 square kilometers of coastal plains in east-central Miyagi Prefecture, bordering the Pacific Ocean.
Taga Castle, established in 729 AD as a military center by the imperial dynasty, served as the administrative headquarters of Mutsu Province.
The Tagajo Castle Site Iris Festival in June presents three million iris specimens, representing local horticultural traditions and community celebrations.
The Sendai Technology Center, operated by Sony Corporation, contributes to the industrial development and employment opportunities in Tagajō.
Archaeological excavations reveal evidence of an 869 tsunami that submerged the original town, with remnants of 8th-century buildings beneath current structures.
