    Miyagi Pref. Sendaishi Aoba-ku Otamayashita 23-2
    Zuihoden, the mausoleum of Date Masamune who died in 1636 at the age of 70, was built at his request. It consists of the main shrine, hall of worship, place of mercy, and Nirvana gate, conveying to the present the characteristics of luxurious and elegant Momoyama culture. Although it was designated as a National Treasure in 1937, it was destroyed by fire during the war in 1945. It was rebuilt in 1979, and large renovation works were carried out in 2001, and the beautiful colors were restored.

    Interesting architectural structure surrounded by a peaceful green surroundings. Very serene when I was there and there wasn’t a lot of people as well. This was where the late Date Masamune was...

    Miyagi Sendai-shi Wakabayashi-ku Arahamashin Horihata 32-1

    Whilst a little tricky to get to, Arahama school is definitely worth a visit. It’s possible to see the water level of the tsunami both outside and inside the building, which is pretty fascinating...

    Miyagi Shiroishi-shi Nakamachi 48-5
    A merchant house located in the center of town. Construction lasted from the mid-Meiji period to the Taisho period. The storehouse, main building, and treasury all give the appearance of the style of the wealthy Edo-Tokyo style merchant class and throughout the country there aren't many manors like this that are still so well preserved. The building is highly regarded as a very valuable cultural heritage. As you pass through the main gate, you'll find a garden of carefully maintained seasonal trees and vegetation and will feel as if you've traveled back in time to the good old days of the Meiji or Taisho periods. The property is currently a rental space and is used for a variety of genres of events including Rakugo comic storytelling, plays, small live music events, and photo exhibitions.

    白石城からのぶらぶら歩きの途中で発見！ 外観やお庭、玄関などとても風情あるつくり。 屋敷の中には入らなかったのですが、素敵なお屋敷でした。各種イベントなども開催の模様。もっとゆっくり見てまわりたかったなあ〜！ おススメです。

  • Taga Castle Government Office Ruins
    Travel / Tourism
    Miyagi Pref. Tagajoushi Ichikawa Joumae
    These ruins are situated just a 15-minute walk from the Kokufu-Tagajo Station on the JR Tohoku Main Line. This was the center of government for the Tohoku region of Japan during the Nara-Heian Era. Along with the former Heijoykyo ruins in Nara Prefecture, the Dazaifu ruins in Fukuoka Prefecture, this historic landmark is one of the nationally designated three great historic sites in Japan. The Taga Castle government offices, formerly the heart of the Taga Castle, are the site of important administration and ritual rites. The cherry blooming in the spring at these ruins is a beautiful site to see, and is a little known spot for cherry blossom viewing. The two ancient trees in the center of the ruins in front of the main temple are so artistic and bring a sense of tranquility to this site.

    Miyagi Katta-gun Shichikashukumachi Nametsu
    This jizo (Kshitigarbha) statue is located the Michinoku Fairy Tale Road in Nametsu, Shichikashuku Town, Katta County. Legend has it that it was erected by a lord of the Akita Domain in the memory of a beautiful local girl who had stolen his heart while he traveled through the area on his way to Edo but tragically passed away before they could meet again. Its name comes from its characteristic form, which depicts the Kshitigarbha as wearing a furisode (long-sleeved kimono).

    A historical site in Takasaki 3 Chome, Tagajo City. It's maintained as a historical park housing the remains of a temple that was constructed at the same time as Tagajo Castle.
