    Miyagi Pref. Shiroishishi Masuokachou 1-16
    Shiroishi Castle is a flatland-style Japanese castle in the city of Shiroishi, just a 10-minute walk from Shiroishi Station. The castle was used by the Date clan of the Sendai Domain but then the Katakura clan were hereditary retainers of the castle for 260 years from after the battle of Sekigahara until the Meiji period. At the start of the Meiji period the castle was demolished by Ordinance for the Disposal of Castles but in remembrance of the achievements of Date Masamune’s senior retainer Katakura Kagetsuna, the three-story keep and two gates were faithfully restored in 1995. Shiroishi Castle has around 400 cherry trees (in Masuoka Park). It is a famous cherry blossom spot that attracts a lot of tourists around mid-April.

    Miyagi Pref. Sendaishi Aoba-ku Kawauchi 1
    This is a castle built by Date Masamune, the first feudal lord of Sendai. Located in the Aobayama Hills, Sendai Castle Honmaru was a natural fortress utilizing the natural terrain consisting of a cliff wall that looks over the Hirose River to the east, a mountain forest in the west called “the back woods”, and the Tachinokuchi valley on the south side. Most of the castle was destroyed by fire in 1882, and Ninomaru became the current site of Tohoku University and Sannomaru has since been transformed into the Sendai City Museum.

    Miyagi Shibata-gun Shibatamachi Funaoka Tateyama

    宮城で桜のキレイな場所はたくさんありますが、圧倒されるのは船岡城址公園から白石川の一目千本桜一帯です。 行くなら朝早くがオススメで、混んでいない時間であれば、ゆっくり見ることが出来ます。難点は広いので歩く距離が多いことくらいですが、それでもウォーキングを兼ねてとすれば楽しく回れます。公園から見下すのもキレイだし、河畔に下りてもまた絶景です。ちょうど風が少しあって桜吹雪も見られて最高でした!

    Miyagi Pref. Todagunwakuyachou Wakuya Shimochou 3-2
    "Located around 10 minutes' walk from JR Wakuya Station, Wakuya Castle was built as a residence by the Wakuya-Date family; it has the only surviving two-storied Yagura tower in Miyagi Prefecture, known as the Taiko-to (Drum Tower). The Wakuya Shrine was built inside what was formerly the castle's Honmaru (Main Bailey), and the area around the castle site is now the Shiroyama Park (""Castle Hill Park""). Inside the Park there is a museum, built in the Tenshu style, which has a collection of around 1,000 artifacts relating to the Wakuya -Date clan, the history of the town of Wakuya, and local customs and traditions. The park is a famous place for viewing cherry blossom; during the Sakura Matsuri festival which is held in mid-April each year, visitors can enjoy viewing Yoshino cherry trees, weeping cherry trees, and hill cherry trees, which are illuminated in the evenings."

    Miyagi Pref. Tagajoushi Ichikawa Joumae other
    This castle site on top of Matsushima Hill is about 15 minutes on foot from JR Kokufu-Tagajo Station and was designated as a National Historic Site in 1922. Built by Ono no Azumabito in 724, Tagajo Castle played a central role in the politics of ancient Tohoku. A monument to the castle was discovered in the early Edo period, and many scholars later conducted research thereafter. It's counted as one of Japan's three major historical sites along with Heijo Palace in Nara Prefecture and Dazaifu in Fukuoka Prefecture. Several cherry trees are planted on the grounds, and lots of locals visit to view the blossoms every spring.
