Sendai- Miyagi

Sendai!!! Sendai is the capital city of Miyagi Prefecture, the largest city in the Tōhoku region. Sendai is a green city by the sea, surrounded by mountains. The Hirose River flows through the center, separating the busy downtown from the old castle site. To me , Sendai is a great place to enjoy sightseeing with slow place . And the best way to explore Sendai is Sendai loople, so called tour bus that around the whole town attractions places. And make sure you purchase one day pass if you are going more than one places . If you use your IC card , single trip is 230¥. And two types of day pass - one is just for loople bus only -630¥ and the other one is loople plus metro ride -920¥ for one day. The bus started and end at Sendai station at 9:00am to 4pm and every 30mins intervals for weekdays and 20 mins intervals for weekends. Just show the ticket to the driver when you get off , make sure don’t loose it , if not you need to pay again 🤭🤭. There are few different attractions places and you can choose to get on , get off many times within a day . I manage to visit Zihoden Temple , Sendai castle and Osaki Hachimangu Shrine. Then went back to Sendai station - walked back to hostel, along the way, I enjoy ichiran Reman for dinner and rest for the day !! When you are in Sendai , and want to explore the city local attractions, Sendai loople is one of my recommendation to you all . Hope you all enjoy 😊!! See you all on the other side of the world 🌎🤭!! #solotravel #naturelover #japan

Sendai Castle Ruins (Aoba Castle Ruins)

Sendai Castle Ruins (Aoba Castle Ruins) is one of the must-see attractions in Sendai, where you can enjoy a panoramic view of Sendai city and feel the historical atmosphere of the Date Masamune era. The most attractive thing is the majestic statue of Masamune Date on horseback standing on the city tracks. The whole place is full of Japanese ancient city atmosphere, plus there are restaurants and souvenir shops nearby. After walking, you can enjoy a cup of tea and feel the tranquil atmosphere. Recommended routes for Sendai Castle Trail: Take a bus or drive over from the city and walk up the mountain to feel the natural beauty of Mount Aoba. The ruins of the city gate can be seen at the entrance. It is quite comfortable to walk all the way up. It takes about 20 minutes to walk to the statue of Masamune. The key photo spots are the bronze statue of Ida Masamune and the observation deck, which can be photographed together with the Sendai city view. You can then visit the small exhibition hall in the city to read about the history of Sendai Castle and the Date family. Must-play items: - Take a photo of Masamune Ida's horseback riding statue: Sendai's most classic landmark, beautiful sunset or sunny. - City Trail Observation Deck: Overlooking the entire Sendai view, especially on clear days as far away as the Pacific Ocean. - History Exhibition Hall: Read the short stories related to Sendai Castle and Date Masamune, suitable for those interested in history. - Restaurants and souvenir shops: After walking around the city, you can come to the restaurant to try Japanese desserts or buy souvenirs. Check-in spot recommendation: 1. Masamune Date on horseback (both front and side) 2. By the observation deck, the large background is the city 3. The ruins of the city gate and the forest view of Aoba Mountain Attraction tips: 1. It is recommended to go up in the morning or evening time, fewer tourists, photography will not be crowded. 2. Windy in the mountains, remember to add a jacket, especially in autumn and winter. 3. The climbing road is sloping, so wear a pair of hiking shoes to walk more comfortably. 4. Some facilities have a Japanese introduction, it is recommended to download the easy translation app to view the information. 5. If driving, the number of parking lots is limited and early arrival is recommended on holidays. Notes: - Open all day year round, be careful when hiking on rainy days with slippery roads. - The restaurant and souvenir shop section is only open until the afternoon, and it is recommended to visit before noon to within the early evening. - There is a garbage sorting facility, personal garbage remember to take away and throw to the designated area. Sendai Castle Ruins is not only a historical attraction, but also a great place to enjoy the Sendai city view and feel the samurai culture. It is perfect for tourists who know how to play, take pictures and want to relax. Topic: #Sendai Castle Ruins #Masamune Date #Sendai Half Day Tour #Japanese Monuments #Northeast Photography

Winter in Japan's Tohoku region is a dreamlike world of snow and ice, hot springs, history, and culture. If you're lucky, you can enjoy both crimson maple leaves and snowy scenery from late November to early December. The seasonal Aomori apples are truly different from those bought in Taiwan and are incredibly delicious. 😋 Somaro not only preserves artifacts of its former prosperity but also preserves the geisha culture of Sakata Minato-cho in Yamagata Prefecture. Simply enjoying a geisha performance is a reasonable ¥1,000.
