Visit the historic site of Sendaijo Ato, an Edo-period structure destroyed in World War II. Demolished during the 1945 bombing of Sendai by the United States, only the ruins of moss-covered stone walls remain on site. Visit the castle museum to see a model of what the building used to look like, inspect a reconstructed guard tower, and admire relics from the castle’s past. From the hilltop on which it stands, the castle and its grounds offer panoramic views of Sendai.

The ruins of Aoba Castle which was built by Date Masamune over 400 years ago. I recommend visiting near sunset or sunrise so you can take in the beautiful scenic views of Sendai. You can still see some of the Castles historic walls, a turret, and the old foundation.

Cool place to learn about the history of Sendai and the castle ruins. Also cool to learn about the founder of the city. The original route is closed off but goes via the Sendai City Museum and it takes you up a path to the top. Ignore Google Maps for now until the original route is back!
