After 5 trips to Japan, my favorite place came up

🇯🇵Sendai is the largest city in Japan's Tohoku region, located in Miyagi Prefecture. It is a city that combines both modern and traditional cultural charm. It is an ideal tourist destination, famous for its beautiful natural scenery, historical sites, delicious food and hot springs. [Cute] Here are some tips for traveling to Sendai: 1. Sendai Castle Ruins The Sendai Castle ruins are one of the symbols of the city, located on Aobayama. It was originally a castle built by Date Masamune, and now only some of the walls and ruins remain. Here visitors can overlook the city of Sendai, visit the ruins of Sendai Castle, and learn about the history of Date Masamune. 2. Zuihoden Zuihoden is another major historical attraction in Sendai. It is the tomb of Date Masamune and is located in Aobayama. The architecture here is rich in traditional Japanese style and the interior of the hall is gorgeously decorated. It is a good place to study Japanese history and architectural art. 3. Shopping and dining in central Sendai Sendai's city center is bustling and diverse. Visitors can go shopping in areas such as Ichibancho and around Sendai Station and experience authentic Japanese shopping malls and shops. Sendai's famous delicacies include beef tongue, fried oysters, Sendai ramen, etc. Don't miss the local food culture. 4. Jozenji Temple Jozenji-dori is a tree-lined avenue in Sendai. The green trees and exquisite buildings on both sides make it an ideal place for a leisurely stroll. There are also many high-end shops and restaurants here, perfect for those who like shopping and relaxing. 5. Songdo Matsushima is one of the most famous scenic spots near Sendai and is known as one of the "Three Views of Japan". There are many small islands and clear waters here. Visitors can take a boat tour to these beautiful islands, and visit Zuiganji Temple in Matsushima to appreciate the natural and cultural landscape of this area. 6. Hot spring experience There are many famous hot spring areas around Sendai, such as Akiu Onsen. The hot springs here have a long history, and visitors can relax in the hot springs and enjoy a peaceful time. Tips: 1. Sendai's public transportation is very convenient, and you can easily reach major attractions by JR train, subway or bus. 2. The winter in Sendai is very cold, especially from December to February. It is recommended that tourists prepare for warmth in advance. [Love][Love]In short, Sendai is a charming city with a profound historical heritage and charming natural scenery. It is a good place worth visiting.

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.

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.

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.
