The page of "Ruins of Sendai Castle" as "Your Destination in Japan" now has been uploaded:
Sendai Castle was built in 1601 by DATE Masamune, who was originally from Yonezawa in Yamagata.
He was a feudal lord of this area with the third largest territory.
The equestrian statue of DATE Masamune is in the main bailey.
Sendai Castle is located on the cliff of Mt. Aoba near the Sendai City just across the Hirose River.
Sendai Castle (" Sendai-Jyo") is also called as "Aoba-Jyo", because of it's location.
You can walk to Sendai Castle from the downtown Sendai in 30 minutes.
However, the easiest way would access from Kokusai Center Station on the Tozai Line of the Sendai Subway.
To the south of the station, you will see a corner tower of the Sendai Castle at the foot of Mt. Aoba.
From the corner tower, you will climb to the main bailey of Sendai Castle.
Near to the main bailey, you will see a tall stone wall with 17 meter height.
As the location of Sendai Castle is on the cliff of Mt. Aoba, you will see the spectacular view of the downtown Sendai.
A hundred years ago, the music, titled "Kojo no Tsuki", was created.
The title of the music is "the Moon over the Ruined Castle" in English.
The lyrics of the music, written by TSUCHII Bansui, are created as the images of the ruins of Sendai Castle.
