大学の卒業旅行は、東大寺の大仏を見に行ったほど、 歴史に浪漫を感じて大興奮してしまった歴女な私がご案内！ 歴史というと、年号やら知識を覚えたりのイメージがありますが、 本当はもっとロマンを感じる楽しいものだと思います。 英語で歴史は、HISTORY それぞれの人間ドラマがあり、His Story=その時代に生きた人たちのストーリーでもあるんですね。 その生き様や、リーダーシップから、現代の私たちに通じるヒントがあるように思うんです。 我が地元、宮城でも大人気な、馬に乗って独眼竜の銅像で有名な仙台藩の当初伊達政宗公。 伊達という言葉は、派手な、おしゃれな、かっこいい、粋な、見栄を張るなどの意味で、 現代でも使われていたりしますが、実は、政宗公から来たという説が。 度が入っていないおしゃれメガネを伊達眼鏡って言ったりしますよね。 ここでは、「粋」という意味も取りたいと思います。 歴女なホストが、政宗公の縁の仙台周辺の神社仏閣をオンラインでご案内しながら、 現代にも通じる不透明な時代を生き抜く「伊達な生き方」のヒントをご紹介します。 ▪️こんな人にオススメ ・いつか仙台に旅行してみたいと思っていた方 ・観光地巡りに飽きて、新しい旅の楽しみ方を味わいたい方 ・歴史や文化が好きな方 ・神社仏閣巡りが好きな方 ・戦国武将や武将の名言が好きな方

Sashimi, sushi, raw oysters – you’ve been there, eaten that! So, are you ready to venture a little further off the beaten path of Japanese cuisine? As fresh as it gets: Sendai City Sendai City, is the ideal balance of metropolis and countryside. Whilst Sendai boasts all the conveniences of a big city, you also don’t have to travel far before you meet the beautiful Pacific coastline or open plains of rice fields and farmland surrounded by sprawling mountain ranges, meaning the freshest local produce is always close at hand. So fresh, in fact, that not only is it packed with delicious natural flavour, it is perfectly safe to eat completely raw. Yep! It doesn’t get much ‘fresher’ than this… On this tour, your guide will take you to three local ‘izakaya’ style bars hidden down the back streets of Sendai’s downtown area to challenge your culinary boundaries with: Raw beef Raw chicken Raw horse Raw shark’s heart (!)* At each of the three bars you’ll have a chance to try one of the above dishes paired with a drink of local sake, beer, whisky or whatever you choose! Are your taste-buds ready to take on this ‘rare’ challenge? * Please note: shark’s heart may not be available

Aoba to enjoy the view of the city ✔Enjoy a tasty breakfast of onigiri rice balls and fresh tea/coffee Sendai City may be the largest metropolis in the Tohoku region and home to all of the conveniences of a big city, but just a short walk from the city centre and you’ll find yourself surrounded by parks, rivers, forests and mountains. For many years, Sendai has been attributed the name of ‘Mori-no-miyako’ (杜の都）or ‘City of Trees’, so it is no surprise that it is also home to diverse birdlife and other local wildlife (no lions or tigers, but sometimes bears…Oh my!) Make the most of your time in the city by waking up early and exploring the local nature. Your guide will meet you at ‘Sendai International Center Station’, just a short 6 min ride on the subway from the city centre. After showing you to some of the most popular bird-watching spots in the Mt. Aobayama area (known among local bird-watchers for frequent sightings of Japanese ‘Kawasemi’ Kingfisher and other local species) you will hike up to the former site of Aoba Castle to enjoy a scenery and breakfast.

Get your day of sight-seeing off to an active start with a light hiking course through the forests of Mt. Aobayama, just a 10 min subway ride from Sendai Station. Your guide will take you through lush forests of beech trees and along mountain streams as you listen to the sounds of local wildlife (and maybe even meet some along the way)!
