The Oshika Peninsula: Land of the Sacred Deer

Oshika peninsula located in the northern Tohoku region has been at the heart of myths and an important stage for local history for centuries. Rich in folklore and abundant in natural appeal, it shouldn't come as a surprise that it became an inspiration for Caroline Pover who published a book about a decate of rebuilding Oshika. We asked Caroline to run us through all the must-see spots on the Oshika peninsula and share her expert advice for first-time visitors and Tohoku old-timers.
