• Dec19 Sendai exploring

    December 19, 2025 in Japan ⋅ ☀️ 10 °C

    We had a nice sleep in until 7am, then headed off for a convience store breakfast at 8am. By 10am we had walked to the station and purchased loople bus tickets for an all day bus that hits up Sendai's highlights. We boarded the 10:20am bus and got off at stop 4 the Zuihoden Mausoleum to have a look. At 11:30am we headed back to the bus stop.

    We had to wait until 11:53 for the next bus. We rode to the next stop which was the Sendai Ryokusaikan visitor centre for a quick look at the float and festival lanterns. Then we went to the Sendai city museum to see the history of Sendai. By this time is was near 2pm, and we were hungry. So we rode the loop bus to the Sendai Mediatheque building for a quick look and had a late lunch at Matsuya.

    We then rode the loop bus back to the station to collect all the tickets we had purchased, as we ride the very special yellow train tomorrow. Tickets collected we hit up Daiso and Don Quixote for some snacks, the walked back to the hotel as the sun was setting at 4:30pm.

    After having a late lunch, we just grabbed some convience store food for dinner. Baths were had for some relaxation. Big travel day tomorrow.
