Official websiteFukushima Prefecture page
Shinchi Town is at the northernmost end of the Hamadori region and borders Miyagi Prefecture. In the domain era it was the only area in the prefecture that belonged to the Sendai Domain, so its dialect and customs still have much in common with Miyagi. Mt. Karo offers views of the Pacific Ocean, and the northern half of the Port of Soma lies within the town.
