Akiu Otaki Falls

[Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture] I walked to the basin of Akiu Falls, one of Japan's three most famous waterfalls!

A huge waterfall with a width of 6m and a total drop of 55m. It is one of Japan's Three Greatest Waterfalls, one of Japan's Top 100 Waterfalls, and a designated National Place of Scenic Beauty.

Cherry blossoms at Tsutsujioka Park

The place where the cherry blossoms are in full bloom changes depending on the season!? I went to the cherry blossom festival at Tsutsujioka Park!

It's about a 20-minute walk from the East Exit of JR Sendai Station, and about a 3-minute walk from Tsutsujigaoka Station on the JR Senseki Line. It's a flower garden representative of Sendai City that can be enjoyed by everyone, from families to office workers.
