    広大な丘に作られたガーデンで、季節によって色とりどりの花が咲いています。 春と秋は見頃の花が多いようですが、私の訪問は8月中旬で、ひまわりの時期も過ぎ、タイミングが悪かったようでした。 花は少なかったですが、カラフルな傘の展示がきれいでした。 オフシーズンは入園料が少し安くなればいいと思いました。大人700円です。

    Miyagi Sendai-shi Aoba-ku Ichibancho 2-3-28
    This back alley shopping district is located in Ichibancho 2-Chome, Aoba Ward, Sendai City. It originated from the many street vendors that gathered here during the recovery from the bombing of Sendai in 1945. Even today, it retains its retro Showa period vibe. The alley is lined with izakaya (Japanese-style pubs) and other restaurants as well as clothing stores, sundries shops, and other vendors.

    こちらは、仙台駅より徒歩7分くらいの一番町にある昭和感漂う横丁で200mくらいあります。 早い時間だったので、まだ賑わいを見ることが出来ませんでした。 次回はここでハシゴをしたいと思わせる雰囲気でよかっです。 ちなみに、この横丁の近くには、文化横丁があります。

    Zao Highline is a 2.5-kilometer toll road, branching from the Zao Echo Highline, and it directly connects the mountaintop parking lot of Mt. Katsutadake. The tall walls of snow that line the road in the spring are a sight to see. Golden Week (early May) is the best time to see it. You can easily see Zao’s famous Goshikinuma (Five Colored Marshes) and crater from the car park though you will need a snowsuit in the spring because of the cold. Enjoy the beautiful views of fresh green leaves in the summer and beautiful autumnal colors in the fall. The Highline is closed from early November to late April because of snow.

    One of the most picturesque locations found in the Zao Mountain Range. A parking area is located nearby on the Zao Echo Line road and can accommodate around 10 vehicles. Two waterfalls can be seen from Takimidai. The waterfall with the greater water flow is Fudo Falls; boasting a 54 meter drop, the falls are watched over by a statue of the Buddhist deity Acala called the Zao Fudoson. The other waterfall, the thin Sanriku Falls, winds its way through the mountains to drop three times into deep basins and has been selected as one of the 100 most beautiful waterfalls in Japan. The beauty of this location is a favorite topic for poets and visitors will find a stone monument inscribed with a waka poem by Reiu Uda here.

  • Shintomiyama Observatory

    Matsushima cho Miyagi-gun, Miyagi prefecture
    This observatory is at the summit of Matsushima Town's Mt. Shintomi. Overlooking all of Matsushima Bay, people say the scenery changes with every 30 centimeters you ascend. It also has a sweeping view of Matsushima's townscape and a great nighttime view with fishing fires dancing above the water after sunset. The tourist sites of Zuiganji and Godaido Temples are within walking distance, and you can also easily stroll there from the Matsushima coast. As it doesn't have its own parking lot, we recommend getting there on foot.
