Shichikashuku

Shichikashuku is best known in Miyagi Prefecture for Lake Shichikashuku, the reservoir created by Shichikashuku Dam on the Shiroishi River. Set in southern Miyagi’s mountains near the Yamagata and Fukushima borders, the town is shaped by woodland, water and an old inland route toward Yamagata. Its name, meaning “seven lodgings,” recalls the seven post stations that served travellers on the Ushū Kaidō during the Edo period. The lakeshore and surrounding Zao foothills provide a rural contrast to the Sendai plain. Browse additional webcams from southern Miyagi to extend your view of Shichikashuku and the Zao foothills.
