Kurihara

Kurihara extends over 804 square kilometers of terrain, encompassing rice fields, mountains, and small communities across the northern region of Miyagi Prefecture.

The area of present-day Kurihara transformed from ancient Mutsu Province settlements into a modern city through the merger of multiple towns in 2005.

The Tohoku Draft Horse Pull competition brings together farmers and spectators to demonstrate traditional agricultural practices and local horsemanship skills.

The East Japan Railway Company provides transportation connections through the Tohoku Shinkansen and Tohoku Main Line, linking Kurihara to major urban centers.

Mount Kurikoma's presence within Kurikoma Quasi-National Park provides recreational opportunities and supports the local ecosystem with diverse flora and fauna.
