A Day of Serenity and Nature in Sendai ⛩️🌲

#cityplaybook Sendai, often called the “City of Trees,” blends history and nature in a way that feels refreshingly peaceful. Just a short ride from the city center, you’ll find sacred sites and lush greenery—perfect for a quiet day of exploring. ⛩ Ōsaki Hachimangū Shrine A national treasure and one of Sendai’s most important shrines. The black lacquered architecture and surrounding forested grounds make for a serene visit. 🌿 Zuihōden Mausoleum The beautifully ornate resting place of Date Masamune, Sendai’s founding lord. Surrounded by cedar trees, it’s a tranquil and spiritual spot to reflect and enjoy the quiet. Why I recommend this area: ・A perfect mix of nature and historical architecture ・Ideal for a peaceful getaway without leaving the city 📍Aoba Ward, Sendai, Miyagi #sendaidaytrip #zuihōden #osakihachimangu #hiddenjapan #cityplaybook #tohokutravel #natureandculture
