【週末気軽旅】仙台・松島｜瑞巌寺、瑞鳳殿を訪ねて牛たん、ずんだ餅！

Hello, today I’m going on a casual trip again. This is the Hayabusa train I’m taking today. Probably the Komachi section? (I know nothing about trains) I hardly ever come to Tokyo Station. PON! (What’s that sound?) I’m going to have breakfast. An egg sandwich that costs 850 yen. It seems they use eggs from the Yatsugatake Plateau. Opening it. The egg is thick. Sweetly seasoned, and with the first bite it’s insanely delicious! If you eat the whole thing, you get kind of tired of it. The weather is nice, isn’t it? I wonder if the rainy season will never come. Rain makes traveling difficult, so it’s great that it’s sunny, though I’m worried about water shortages. (Look at these beautiful rural fields!) We’ve arrived, so I’ll transfer to the local line. I somehow ended up arriving, but I’m in Sendai. But I’m going to pass through Sendai for now. Taking the Senseki Line, from Sendai to Matsushima Kaigan. And here we are. This is what it looks like in front of the station. Since I didn’t rent a car this time, I’m getting around on foot. Japan’s summer has already arrived—just look at this Matsushima. It’s hot! Too hot! …Did you know? I didn’t know. Matsushima in Miyagi, Amanohashidate in Kyoto, and Miyajima in Hiroshima are known as the Three Views of Japan. (I knew that.) There are so many people. Maybe it’s school field trip season—there’s a ton of students. At the end of this bridge is Godaido Hall. Built during the Daido era (807–809 AD) by Sakanoue no Tamuramaro, and the current structure was reconstructed in 1604 (Keicho 9). (that’s what I read.) You can see Matsushima from here. Matsushima, made famous by Basho. It’s been on the shoreline for over 400 years, and I was amazed it’s still standing. I guess that’s about 40 years old? We’ve arrived at the national treasure, Zuiganji Temple. You can use e-money to buy tickets. I’ll tour the main hall. Since photos are prohibited inside, I have no footage, but the sliding doors were all gilded. Anyone who loves shiny gold would be amazed. The exterior is beautiful. The next spot is right next door: Entsuin Temple. A beautiful garden. The fresh greenery of early summer just suits temples so well. Sankeiden. It’s the mausoleum of Date Masamune’s eldest grandson. It says the oldest rose in Japan was brought back by Hasekura Rokuemon Tsunenaga. He was part of the Keicho diplomatic mission to Europe. 400 years ago, from the Date domain, a delegation was sent to the King of Spain and the Pope. That was the diplomatic mission. They say this main hall has stood since 1647. This garden represents the seven lucky gods’ islands in Matsushima. Walking to the observation deck felt life-threatening, so I went to a nearby shopping complex’s terrace instead. It still kind of feels like Matsushima. As someone traveling by train, I appreciated the station’s waiting room (it was so clean). And now I’m back at Sendai Station. It was my first time in Sendai, and it lived up to my expectations as a city. It’s exactly the urban city I imagined. I’m heading to today’s hotel. This area had a mysterious pleasant scent (mini fact). I can see it now. Everyone’s favorite Royal Host …but this is actually the Richmond Hotel Sendai. I checked in. For some reason, I was upgraded to a better room. (No idea why.) It’s spacious! And it has that nice hotel overseas vibe, with a signature scent. They have slippers, and a proper luggage rack. Checking out the bathroom. This sink bowl is super flat, yet

doesn’t splash water out unexpectedly (impressive engineering). There’s a hair dryer, towels, and room wear and a bathrobe? (I haven’t opened it.) The bathtub is separate from the toilet. Amazing for a business hotel. The toiletries were by Mikimoto Cosmetics. The bathtub is quite spacious too. Checking out the toilet. It’s really clean looking. Of course, it has a bidet toilet. Very simple. (Looks easy to clean.) !!!?? (Such craftsmanship…!!) A remote, notebooks, charging cables, tissues, an air purifier, a trash can, there’s a mirror above (I checked later). Electric kettle, glasses, cups. A refrigerator. A comfortable table with a chair. A sofa. A mesh screen. It was Airweave (I slept well). Lighting. There are two types of outlets and USB ports. And a huge bed. And a TV. It was an awesome room. Amenity corner in front of the elevator. There’s also a gym. A business lounge. Coffee machine. Booth-style desks. They also have snacks. At this counter, you can get a welcome drink starting in the evening. There’s also a restroom inside the lounge. They even have meeting rooms! This is seriously amazing. I thought, wow, Richmond Hotel is this great. They even had amenities for kids. There’s another amenity corner here too. They even have bags to carry the amenities. Bath salts—nice touch. There’s a lounge opposite. This hotel is really child-friendly. They even had a play area for kids. There’s even a soup bar! And another coffee machine. They even have a dagashi (snack) bar! This makes both kids and adults excited. And they even have soft serve ice cream! In two flavors too! And a soft drink bar. They’ve thought of everything. Suddenly, guess where we are. That’s right. When you think of Sendai, it’s gyutan (grilled beef tongue)! Soup! Tororo! Rice! Let’s dig in! Delicious~! I’m totally satisfied! The staff was really nice too. I’m going for a little walk. Back at the hotel, I had soft serve for dessert. It was tasty. And then a welcome drink at the business lounge. I enjoyed some beer and snacks. Completely satisfied—good night. And good morning. I’ve come for breakfast. The breakfast venue is— Royal Host, everyone’s favorite. (Foreshadowing payoff.) It seems attached to the hotel. The bread display is so elegant. The buffet has quite a variety. I want to try everything. There’s Japanese breakfast too. And some Sendai specialties. There are sweets as well. There’s yogurt, and cereal, They really think of the kids here too. The fruit and salad selection is amazing. You can choose between gyutan or pancakes for the main. Since I had gyutan yesterday, I went with pancakes. Everything was delicious. I checked out and headed out. It was supposed to be sunny today, but it’s cloudy. Heading to Osaki Hachiman Shrine. I visited Osaki Hachiman Shrine. Why is a manhole cover in the shot? Because there was a sign prohibiting photography at the shrine. But I wanted to share my thoughts, so I’m talking about it while looking at a nearby manhole cover. Please use your imagination. The approach path stretches straight ahead, with several small shrines, and I prayed at the main hall. There were five free-range chickens, and they followed me—it was so cute. So now I’m at Aoba Castle Ruins. This is Gokoku Shrine in the same area. I’m going to pray here. I can see it now. (Someone’s mowing grass in the background.) This is the statue of Date Masamune. You get a panoramic view of the city. This is too rainy. I used an app to call a taxi to get around. I bought a folding umbrella. It suddenly cleared up. Well, the umbrella will come in handy eventually. Lucky that it cleared up. In Tohoku, they casually warn you about bears. Being from Kyushu, I’m not used to bear sightings. (There are no bears in Kyushu’s nature.) I’m visiting Zuihoden. The steps are really tall. Gorgeous. This is Date Masamune’s mausoleum. Surprisingly, it has automatic doors. Found it. The Boshin War memorial. The mausoleum of the second lord, Date Tadamune—Kansenden. The mausoleum of the third lord, Date Tsunamune—Zenoden. There were few people, so I could pray in peace. There are many monuments related to the Boshin War. I wonder if people in Tohoku have a strong attachment to the Boshin War. Actually, I learned that the mausoleum I just saw was rebuilt, and the original built in 1637, was destroyed in the 1945 war damage. The taxi driver to the station told me that the statue of Date Masamune I saw earlier was the second version. The first statue was removed during the war metal collection and now only the upper half remains. It was an interesting story. Zunda mochi! It was delicious. And so, I’m heading home. Though it was my first time in Sendai, it felt pretty compact, with many highlights in one area, though public transport felt a bit inconvenient. (I ended up using a lot of taxis.)
