Sendai is rich in culture and historical buildings. Not only the city itself, but also the surrounding Matsushima area offers beautiful and scenic views.
Shiogama City, where Forest Adventure Shiogama is located, is home to the historic “Shiogama Shrine,” which even the famous warlord Date Masamune once visited, as well as the “Shiogama City Fish Market,” where you can enjoy seafood—especially tuna, for which the area is famous.
