Miyagi prefecture has what I like to call "cat-dream" island, just saying. http://www.atlasobscura.com/places/tashirojima Visited there two years ago. Not as many cats as in these picture, but still plenty. And other parts of the island are kinda deserted due to people moving away to bigger cities, so was kinda fun/eerie to walk around. And near the town you get on the ferry (called Ishinomaki) there seemed to be a lot of sightseeing stuff from the map at the station (I was on foot so didn't have a chance to explore). And Matsushima, which is nice but I am sure was mentioned.

And in Yamagata there is a beautiful temple on a cliff known as Yamadera which i visited. You could easily knock out Miyagi/Yamagata/Fukushima (I did this ona 3 day trip) and even Iwate/Akita/Aomori on the same trip. I have read that Iwate's/Aomori's Sanriku coast is beautiful.

I went in hiking in Saitama once, and would recommend it, especially because its an easy day trip from Tokyo!

Best of luck with your travels!

You can get a lot of information about dinosaurs and natural history there.

Don't your Eikawa shifts usually start at 5? Night off?

Wow so you really have no reason to be on here at all then?

Nope but it's strangely moreish, more so than I found it when I was still living amongst The Master Race.

[Frap]

I'd miss you if you weren't around, mrcharisma〜

What I said was an exact quote of the new 2nen year middle school textbook.

[Ananasboat]

Dude. It's 9. Way past my bedtime. And I'm SERIOUSLY withdrawing from my lack of Ghanna chocolate.

[mothy]

Jeez. Your j-peen just shriveled up and died.

Apparently it atrophies if you just experience Japan through /r/japancirclejerk.
