A well-known spot for autumn leaves. The wooden thirteen-story pagoda here is the only one of its kind in the world and is the signature structure of Tanzan Jinja Shrine.

Sendai Asaichi Morning Market
“Sendai Asaichi" has the advantage of being extremely accessible, only a five-minute walk from Sendai Station. The market sells mainly fresh local Miyagi fresh food products. There are also many diners, allowing visitors to enjoy all the food Miyagi has to offer, from shopping to dining.
Coming here early in the morning feels really local—you kind of feel like a resident. It’s perfect at breakfast time, and you can easily just grab a full meal here.

Sanrio Puroland
Guests can meet Sanrio characters like Hello Kitty and My Melody at this indoor theme park. Sanrio characters put on authentic performances like shows and parades that mix stories, dances, and songs together.
The souvenirs are insanely cute. The second you walk in, all logic goes out the window.
They’ve got merch for every character—Hello Kitty, Pompompurin, My Melody, you name it.
So many options, from tiny keychains to big plushies. It’s way too easy to go overboard. -

Chirihama Nagisa Driveway
This is one of the few roads in the world along a sandy beach that can be driven on. The 8-kilometer-long road runs along the beach and can be driven not only by car but also by motorcycle or bicycle. The finely packed sand particles make driving along the beach like a scene from a movie, and it is especially moving to watch the sun set.
Driving right on the beach is seriously cool. It’s a pretty rare experience in Japan.
Cruising along with the ocean right next to you just puts you in a great mood.
Super relaxing. -
