Rairaikyo Gorge
Scenic beauty as far as the eye can see at this gorge carved by the Natori River flowing between Mt. Kamuro in the Ou Mountains to Sendai Bay. The name "Rairaikyo" was given by Tomotaka Komiya, a disciple of Natsume Soseki and an honorary professor at Tohoku University, in 1931, with "Rai" referring to the abundance of rocks.
