Miyagi district, Administrative district in Miyagi Prefecture, Japan
The district extends from the Ou Mountains to the Pacific Ocean, containing towns like Matsushima, Shichigahama, and Rifu within its boundaries.
The district first appeared in historical records in 766 through the Shoku Nihongi document, leading to its establishment as an administrative region in the eighth century.
The district contains Matsushima Bay, which features over 200 islands covered in pine trees, representing traditional Japanese landscape design principles.
The district maintains strong transportation connections through major rail lines and expressways, linking its communities to the broader Tohoku region transportation network.
The name of Miyagi Prefecture itself originates from this district, which predates the modern administrative division established in 1878.
