Doprava v Sendai

Milujem pohodlie JR passu, pretože spája všetky zaujímavé miesta prostredníctvom Shinkansenu. Lenže je stále drahší a drahší… správy uvádzajú, že v októbri sa cena opäť zvýši, takže ho radšej využijem teraz 😂 Klook mi nákup veľmi zjednodušil a spríjemnil. Pas som dostal za menej ako 5 dní prostredníctvom DHL 👍🏻

The "Free Hong Kong Mail" for the voucher was delivered by SF Express. I placed the order today (Monday) and received it the next day (Tuesday), which is extremely efficient. The last time I visited Hokkaido via Sapporo Airport, I deliberately skipped Hakodate because taking the Hokkaido Shinkansen from Shin-Aomori Station to Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto Station, then transferring to the JR Hakodate Main Line to Hakodate Station, only takes about 1.5 hours. This is much more convenient than the over 3.5-hour journey from Sapporo to Hakodate. For a relaxed trip for middle-aged travelers, the route Sendai - Aomori - Hakodate - Hachinohe - Sendai, using a JR Pass to reserve seats for free at the designated seat ticket machines, allows you to enjoy leisurely times and various delicious foods. It's very cost-effective and worthwhile.

Trasa cesty bola nasledovná: Deň 1 – z letiska Narita vlakom Narita Express (N'EX) na stanicu Tokio, potom prestup na Shinkansen do stanice Yamagata. Deň 2 – z Yamagaty do Shinjo, potom do Oishidy a späť do Yamagaty. Pôvodne sme mali ísť na plavbu loďou po rieke Mogami, ale kvôli silnému sneženiu sme sa vrátili a navštívili Ginzan Onsen. Deň 3 – ráno sme išli lanovkou na Zao, popoludní sme cestovali Shinkansenom z Yamagaty cez Fukušimu a Sendai do jazera Tazawa. Deň 4 – jazda autobusom po okružnej linke jazera Tazawa, potom z jazera Tazawa do Morioky a ďalej do Shin-Aomori (úsek Shin-Aomori → Aomori bol kvôli silnému sneženiu zrušený, takže sme išli autobusom do centra mesta). Deň 5 – prehliadka mesta Aomori. Zo Shin-Aomori do Shin-Hakodate a potom zo Shin-Hakodate do Hakodate (môžete použiť aj JR Pass a Hakodate Liner!). Lanovkou sme sa vyviezli na horu Hakodate, aby sme si pozreli nočný výhľad. Deň 6 – prechádzka po meste Hakodate. Z Hakodate do Toya (Hokuto), potom zo stanice Toya do Toyako Onsen (autobusom). Večer sme si užili zimný festival Toya Winter Illumination a hudobný ohňostroj, ktorý bol nádherný.

This bus stop is outside the East Exit of Sendai Station; I almost went the wrong way. The seats are small, just barely enough, and there are no curtains. The pictures show the bus stop and the waiting area. The exact location is a few hundred meters past the East Exit.
