Review of Tempyo Roman Hall
TripAdvisor Traveler Ratingここは昔 金を産出し奈良の大仏に使われたことを伝えるための建物で展示室と砂金採り体験場があります。両方とも有料です。
涌谷町お土産屋さんもあります。一度行けばいいかな?と思う場所です。

Miyagi Areas

Lying along the northeastern coast of Japan, Miyagi prefecture is home to lashings of natural parks, oysters, and hot springs. While the bustling city of Sendai offers some simple city entertainment, it’s the Matsushima islands that deserve the most attention, having boosted the prefecture’s reputation as one of Japan’s most scenic views.
