🏯【Sendai Guide】Enjoy history, gourmet food, and nature! A summary of Sendai's classic and hidden spots 📍Sendai Castle Ruins (Aoba Castle Ruins) A historical spot symbolizing Sendai, with a statue of Date Masamune on horseback. On a clear day, you can get a panoramic view of Sendai city, and it's perfect for taking photos. You can also enjoy exhibits from the Warring States period at the museum inside the castle ruins. 📍Zuihoden The mausoleum of Date Masamune. It features beautiful carvings and lacquered architecture, and is a valuable cultural asset. The grounds are surrounded by trees, creating a quiet atmosphere, allowing you to take a leisurely stroll. 📍Jozenji-dori (Keyaki-namiki) A tree-lined street with beautiful scenery in every season. It is a popular photo spot for Sendai residents, especially in early summer when the new leaves are in bloom and in winter when the Pageant of Light is held. There are also cafes and galleries scattered around. 📍Sendai Morning Market & Gyutan Street At Sendai Morning Market, a favorite of locals, you can enjoy fresh seafood, vegetables, and local gourmet food at reasonable prices. We also recommend trying beef tongue from popular restaurants at Gyutan Street inside Sendai Station. ⸻ ✅ Transportation access Sendai city is well-equipped with subways, buses, and JR lines. Good access to various places from Sendai Station. The JR Senseki Line is convenient for Matsushima.
