2️⃣Main attractions
❶Sendai Daikannon
▪️You can take bus No. 910 from the No. 19 bus stop at Sendai Station. The ticket price is 400 yen. The internal visit closes relatively early, at 15:30. This attraction is quite far away. If you don’t plan to go inside, it will take an hour and a half to go back and forth, and only 10 minutes to take photos. You have to consider whether it is worth it.
❷Sendai Gymnasium🏟
▪️Take the Sendai Subway Namboku Line from Sendai Station and get off at Tomisawa Station, 310 yen. Turn left after exiting the subway and walk for a while until you see the sign. Just follow the sign and you will arrive after crossing the park. It was a little quiet on days when there were no students.
❸Greenery Pavilion-Goshikinuma-Sendai City Museum-Lu Xun Monument-Sendai Castle
▪️These attractions are all in the same area and can be reached by foot. Although you can take the bus, I took the subway and got off at Kokusai Center Station on the Sendai Subway Tozai Line.
▪️Green Pavilion: There are free postcard sets available, and the souvenir shop opens at 10 o'clock. There is a bust of Date Masamune outside the museum, and a large grassy area. Sometimes there is a market, and people set up tents to sell things, which is very lively~
▪️Goshikinuma: The birthplace of Japanese figure skating.
▪️Sendai Museum: Tsukishima’s workplace, there is also a volleyball sign at the door!
▪️Lu Xun Monument: There is also a statue next to it.
▪️Sendai Castle: To get up from the museum, you need to walk up a big slope, which is basically like climbing a mountain, and it will be a bit tiring. There is no tower on top, only ruins and a statue of Date Masamune riding a horse. However, the view is very broad, you can overlook Sendai City and see the Great Guanyin Statue.

❷Edamame milkshake [IceCream]
There is Kikusuian on the third floor of the JR station. It is delicious and not too sweet. I highly recommend it! The edamame pancakes are delicious too.

There is a street of grilled beef tongue next to Kikusuian, where both Tanjiro and Rikyuu sell it.
