Accessible from Sendai or Tokyo easily but much more relaxed than big cities.

I didn't know much about the city or surrounding area however I am confident in saying it has been one of my favourite places in Japan. I would highly recommend visiting if you like the outdoors or want to visit somewhere a bit different.
