Spent my holiday in Japan and travelled from Tokyo to Matsushima through Nikko and Sendai at the north-east in late July 2004.
Nice place and very friendly people I met there, though the weather turning from bad to stormy during the middle part of my journey was very discouraging. Pity I was not able to take many good picture of the scenary in the mountainous area of Sendai - may be next time.
