Trip to Sendai, Japan 🇯🇵
It was a trip to Sendai, Japan with family. We started our day by visiting Zuihoden, the mausoleum of the Date family, which is set within a lush forest 🌳 The architecture is stunning, with intricate carvings and vibrant colors that make it a fantastic spot for photos. The early morning light shines through the trees, casting a serene glow on the structure, perfect for capturing both the building and the surrounding greenery. I would recommend arriving early to avoid the crowds and get the best lighting 😍
📍Zuihoden, 23-2, Otamayashiki, Aoba Ward, Sendai, Miyagi 980-0811, Japan
We then explored Sendai Mediatheque, a modern architectural marvel. The glass and steel structure is a masterpiece of contemporary design, and we had a great time photographing 📸 both the interior and the exterior. The sleek lines and the play of light and shadow are especially striking. We visited in mid-morning, when the sunlight streaming through the glass walls illuminated the space, making for some amazing photos. If you're into architecture or modern art, this place is a must-see! 🙌🙌🙌
📍1-1, Tachibanadori, Aoba-ku, Sendai-shi, Miyagi 980-0821, Japan
We also headed up to Aoba Castle (Sendai Castle). This historic site offers breathtaking panoramic views of the city. The view from the 🏰 ruins is particularly photogenic in the early afternoon, as the sun casts its light across the valley and the nearby mountains. Even though the castle itself was mostly destroyed, the reconstructed gates and stone walls give a sense of its former grandeur. I highly recommend visiting if you want to capture both history and nature in one shot 📸
📍1-1 Aobayama, Aoba Ward, Sendai, Miyagi 980-0862, Japan
We then visited the Osaki Hachiman Shrine, an important Shinto shrine with beautiful architectural features. The vermilion-lacquered gate (torii) and the intricate carvings of the shrine's main hall were wonderful to photograph 📸 We spent some time walking around the tranquil grounds, and the peaceful atmosphere made it the perfect spot to relax while snapping photos of the beautiful surroundings. The shrine is especially charming during golden hour when the setting sun enhances the colors of the shrine and trees 🌳
📍1-6-1, Sōda, Aoba Ward, Sendai, Miyagi 980-0863, Japan
As evening approached, we headed to Jozenji-dori Avenue, known for its beautiful tree-lined streets. This area is especially photogenic in the evening, as the trees are lit up with colorful lights, creating a magical atmosphere. We took a leisurely stroll and enjoyed the views of the trees against the city skyline. The whole area takes on a warm, golden glow just before sunset, which makes for some stunning photos. I would recommend visiting in the late afternoon or early evening for the best lighting 😍😍😍
📍Jozenji-dori, Aoba Ward, Sendai, Miyagi, Japan
Sendai was really beautiful and fun. We are looking forward to revisit the city again soon 🙌

Sendai Mediatheque せんだいメディアテーク
An interesting building with plenty of spaces and interesting art display to discover too. We walked around and had fun and there sat at the first floor cafe for a coffee and dessert. Though we did not see the night lightings etc or do anything adventurous we had fun and enjoyed the afternoon in the building. The display on the building after earthquake were interesting and informative. The other levels where there were art exhibits and photos were great too!
