Marumori, Town in Igu district, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan

Located in a circular basin ringed by forested mountains, Marumori extends across 273 square kilometers with the Abukuma River flowing through its center.

The area belonged to Mutsu Province before becoming part of the Sendai Domain during the Edo period, later establishing as a village in 1889.

The town maintains traditional temples and shrines, celebrating regional festivals that incorporate local music, dance performances, and seasonal food specialties.

Transportation access includes stations on the Abukuma Express Line and National Routes 113 and 349, connecting travelers to neighboring municipalities.

The name Marumori translates to 'circle forest' in Japanese, reflecting the geographical formation of the mountainous terrain surrounding the settlement.
