Shiraken

In mid-April, I went to Sendai with my travel partners to chase cherry blossoms.
In addition to famous cherry blossom viewing spots such as Ichimoku Senbonzakura in Sendai City and Funaoka,
we also accidentally discovered a niche attraction in northern Miyagi Prefecture - Hiyoriyama Park.
The park is located in Ishinomaki City and is the location of the &quot;King of Comics&quot; Shotaro Ishinomori&#39;s &quot;Ishinomori Mangakan&quot;. The popular &quot;Kamen Rider&quot; is one of his works.
If you are an anime lover, when you travel to Sendai, you might as well stay for a day and walk around this small town full of anime atmosphere.

She believed that MANGA is not just a humorous &quot;comic&quot;,
but also an art that can express everything in the world, so it should be called &quot;Manga&quot;
There are 11 exhibition areas in the museum, which introduce Ishinomori&#39;s life and works in detail

The top of the mountain is full of cherry blossoms, and you can also enjoy the magnificent sea view of the Pacific Ocean from a distance
At the same time, it was also an important shelter during the 311 earthquake.
