Good morning, traveller! Are you excited to dive into the wonders of Sendai? First things first, we'll check in at our hotel and freshen up.

In the afternoon, let's visit Zuihoden, a stunning mausoleum full of colourful art, ancient architecture and lush greenery. Sounds fabulous, right? As the sun starts to set, we'll treat our taste buds with Sendai's famed gyutan (beef tongue) at a local dining spot. Full day, full belly, full heart!

Day 2 – In the Lap of Nature and History

Rise and shine! Are you ready for an action-packed day? We'll head to Matsushima Bay, famed for its beautiful seascapes. We'll boat around the tiny islands, each with its unique shape and story. Once back on land, don't forget to visit the mesmerizing Zuiganji Temple, surrounded by centuries-old pine trees. How about a scenic spot for lunch? The Godaido Viewpoint it is! We'll dine with the bay as our backdrop. In the afternoon, we'll return to Sendai and explore the grand Sendai Castle ruins. Did we mention the breath-taking city views from there?
