นอกจากโชว์ที่สระใหญ่จะมีโชว์แมวน้ำ โชว์เพนกวิน ที่ถ้าเราไปถ่ายรูปกับน้องก็จะได้สัมผัสตัวน้องอย่างใกล้ชิดด้วยค่ะ ถือว่าได้ประสบการณ์ใหม่ๆมากๆเลยค่ะ สถานที่ไม่ได้ติดสถานนีรถไฟต้องเดินมาระยะหนึ่งเลย ไกลแต่คุ้มค่ามากๆ

worth. Although every city has its own history, when I approached it, I didn’t expect that the first thing I saw was the sculpture of Lu Xun! Ha ha! If I remember correctly, the words next to the sculpture were written by Guo Moruo himself. Looking out from the museum, the light and shadows are beautiful. The castle ruins are located on a high point, overlooking the entire Sendai.

The white Guanyin statue is also the tallest Buddhist facility here. The big Guanyin is very majestic. The Guanyin statue here is also very beautiful. The Guanyin statue in Sendai also looks very clean, and the view from the street is also good.

I got muscle pain lol There are 62 steps, in honor of Sendai's 620,000 koku, but it's quite a steep hill just to get there! However, parking is free if you show your visit ticket, which is very reasonable. It was nice to be able to see the statue of Date Masamune, which can only be seen once a year. I was also moved to see the graves of those who committed suicide or died following their lord nearby. I never get tired of looking at the beautiful colors and designs of the openwork carvings.

This is a must-see attraction in Sendai. Built by Date Masamune, the lord of Sendai, Hachimangu Shrine is an important shrine for the people of Sendai to pray to. It is also the main shrine of Hachimangu Shrines throughout Japan. It is very imposing, surrounded by towering ancient trees. I would like to point out that the fried pork cutlet shop at the entrance of Hachimangu Shrine is frequented by Yuzu. It is almost filled with souvenirs of Yuzu fans. Fans are more than just checking in.

The scenery is pleasant and the air is fresh. Especially after the rain, the scenery here is even more beautiful! It is really pleasant to come here to appreciate the beautiful scenery. The mountains and waters are connected, and the sound of water is gurgling! !
