Review for: Join-in 1-day Miyagi Prefecture bus tour

The Zao Snow Wall is a sight that can only be enjoyed in a few days. If it happens to be in the Northeast region, don’t miss the Ichimo Senbon Sakura because the cherry blossoms bloom early this year. I missed it. Fortunately, the Funaoka Castle Ruins Park next to it can make up for the regret. It is provided at noon. The bento is good-looking and delicious. The kokeshi museum has less resonance.

Review for: Join-in 1-day Miyagi Prefecture bus tour

What a great day trip to Sendai! The tour guide is very kind and enthusiastic, which made us feel the local enthusiasm and friendliness. In the process of going to Zao Snow Wall and Kokeshi Museum, the tour guide explained in great detail, which gave us a deeper understanding of the local history and culture. What amazed me the most was Ichimoku Senbenzakura, we saw the magnificent mountains and pink cherry blossoms, it was so beautiful! The whole itinerary was very well organized without feeling rushed or uncomfortable. We have gained a lot from this trip, and we are very grateful to the tour guide for his careful care and wonderful explanation, which made us have a wonderful day.
