Even though I don't know much about Japanese history, the exhibits made it easy to understand how Japanese life has changed and evolved over time.

Mount Rokko Athletic Park GREENIA
One of Japan’s largest athletic parks, surrounded by the rich natural beauty of Mount Rokko. Its vast grounds of Approx. 230,000 square meters, about the size of six Hanshin Koshien Stadiums, make the mountains, sky, and waterfront all part of the adventure. Supervised by the popular video creator group Fischer's, the park offers highly photogenic athletic activities that are perfect for social media.
This is a great place to burn off some energy with friends or as a couple.
The park is huge and split into several areas, with all kinds of obstacle courses, ropes, climbing setups, and balance beams. They look easy, but you’ll actually work up a sweat 😅 Some of the challenges are honestly pretty tough. It’s up in the mountains, so the air feels nice and the scenery is decent too. On a good-weather day, it’s really pleasant.
But walking around all day will definitely wear you out, so make sure to wear comfortable shoes or your feet will give up first. -
cafe SKY 40
A stunning-view cafe inside the Kuchu Teien Observatory at Umeda Sky Building, the only site in Japan selected for a UK publisher’s “Top 20 Buildings in the World.” More than the location, the menu stands out, especially the original coffee made with carefully selected beans.
The biggest selling point is the high-rise view. If you sit by the window, you can look out over the city.
The daytime view is pretty good, and it’s a big plus when the weather’s nice. It feels even better at night.
Great spot for chatting, a date, or just zoning out.
The coffee and desserts are pretty average—totally fine to drink and eat, but nothing that wowed me. The prices are a bit on the high side. -
Sendai Asaichi Morning Market
“Sendai Asaichi" has the advantage of being extremely accessible, only a five-minute walk from Sendai Station. The market sells mainly fresh local Miyagi fresh food products. There are also many diners, allowing visitors to enjoy all the food Miyagi has to offer, from shopping to dining.
There are so many kinds of fruits and veggies here, and everything is sold at really low prices. You might even find some unexpected surprises.
