Currently there’s only one subway line in Sendai, the Nanboku Line, which runs north to south. Although it was the world’s first public train to use fuzzy logic to control its speed, this probably doesn’t account for the fact that it is one of the most expensive subways to ride; much more expensive than the [...]

The Saitama Seibu Lions come to Sendai to face the hometown Rakuten Eagles. Note that there’s only dirt around the bases; the basepaths, infield and outfield are all artificial turf. Give me dirt and grass any day over this crap.

Most come in three flavours: Miso, Shoyu (soy sauce), and Shio (salt). Personally, I prefer the miso chashu (miso with sliced pork) variety.

Between Ogawara and Shibata towns, a thousand cherry blossom trees line the Shiroishi River. Thousands upon thousands of tourists visit the area in May to enjoy ‘Hanami’, cherry blossom viewing.

Where was this?

I believe the name of it is Fureai Forest Park PGC. It’s in Nakaniida, Kami, which is just to the west of Furukawa. It’s a beautiful, well manicured course, and is out in the middle of nowhere. I even got a hole in one!
There’s a crapload close to where I live, but the only one I know of that is closer to Sendai is in Ohira Village. You’ll need a car though to get to any of them, but it’s worth it.
