JR East Tohoku pass activities

Hi everyone!
Been living in Tokyo for about a year and bought the JR Tohoku pass on a whim from today until the 8th.
Are there any specific events that are worth seeing? It doesn’t matter if they require Japanese language abilities. Very flexible as I haven’t done any planning at all.
Also, how is autumn foliage looking like?

Thanks a lot! 🙂

  1. Maybe too close to Tokyo to be worth using the pass on but there’s the pottery festival in Mashiko this week if you’re into that. (Train to Utsunomiya then bus to Mashiko). It’s on until the 6th: https://toukiichi.mashiko-db.net/

    Somebody else can probably tell you more about Tohoku destinations but Yamadera is cool, also Osore-zan is awesome but far.
