Sendai City Museum

It was once the Sendai Castle Sanomaru during the Edo period and is now part of Aobayama Park. Sendai City Museum mainly displays exhibits related to the history of Miyagi Prefecture and Sendai City, among which the most extensive exhibits are related to Sendai Han and the ambassadors of IDA and Keijang to Europe.


It is worth mentioning that the museum's collection of "Ozhou Sendai collar paintings", which are 8 meters long, is a popular exhibit in the museum. Unfortunately, there is a lack of video data from the Sendai trip, and the pictures taken cannot be found.

Sendai Higashi Palace

The Tokugawa Ieyasu Shrine is a shrine to Tokugawa Ieyasu, and there are more than 100 shrines throughout the country. Sendai Totoru Palace was built in 1654 by the second Lord of Sendai, Tadazo IDA, as a shrine for the worship of Tokugawa Ieyasu.

During the Chungzong period, Sendai was heavily supported by the Tokugawa shogunate due to frequent floods and fires. In order to witness the gratitude and reverence of the Tokugawa family, Chungzong used more than 800,000 workers to build the Tokugawa Palace for five years. In addition, Sendai Higashi Palace is also one of the national key cultural relics located in Sendai.
