My trip to Sendai was awesome!!
I met Katakura Kita, Santa-san and Katakura Kojuro from Date Busyotai.
You can meet them every Sunday at the site of Aoba castle (Aoba-jo).
I am still sooooo excited!!
I also tried to make mochi! Ahaha! It was my first time and I failed! LOL
After that we were treated delicious zunda mochi for free! (☆｡☆)
Sendai is famous for zunda mochi.
I'm looking forward to going there again and again! xD
After the festival we went to the Uesugi clan mausoleum.
Here's the ticket.
There are 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 generations on the right.
And 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 generations on the left.
And Lord Uesugi Kenshin in the center.
The atmosphere is very calm and fascinating.
The family crest of Uesugi family.
Last weekend there was a festival in Yonezawa.
Luckily, I was able to go there!
I usually buy tickets at the very last moment. This time all the tickets for night buses were sold out. Luckily, I managed to go there by night bus to Fukushima. And then I changed for a train to Yonezawa. It took just 30 minutes by bullet train (Shinkansen).
Yonezawa is so beautiful! I like quiet and green places.
And here's my hero! Den-san, my friend from Kyoto, was acting as Date Masamune.
All the participants were awesome!
I took a lot of pictures. I just need to work on them, it takes a lot of time.
