We had gran plans for our second day in Sendai, unfortunately Mother Nature stepped in and scratched off Plan A.
We had to quickly form a Plan B, and after a quick pitstop at the hotel to try a Sendai specialty we picked up at the train station we headed out for the day, our final destination Rinnō-ji Temple.
In the first part of this two part episode we also make an interesting stop at a Japanese bank, where we are directed to the first floor, then third floor and then back down to the first floor. That was a bit confusing!
We also have lunch with a view at Otooya. Nicole attempts beef tongue again, but instead of just a single piece to try her entire meal is beef tongue.
After a quick stroll along the boulevard of Jozenji-dori Avenue, we start the hike out to Rinnō-ji Temple. It was an interesting hike, feeling a little off the beaten path, through some residential areas of Sendai. We happen upon a few temples along the way. While not the main attraction for the day, they were impressive and we were happy to have stumbled upon them.
Spoiler: We didn’t find Rinnō-ji in this part of the episode! 😃
