🇯🇵Mountain onsen, forest silence, stars overhead — what if that was just your Tuesday night?
Obara is a quiet mountain hamlet in southern Miyagi Prefecture,
nestled in the foothills of the Zao range.
Sendai — Tohoku's largest city — is about an hour's drive north,
but the rhythm here belongs to another era entirely.
Cedar and beech forests blanket the surrounding hills,
the seasons shift dramatically, and the region's renowned hot springs
are never far away.
Miyagi means gyutan — Sendai's legendary beef tongue culture is just a day trip away.
