New Yellow Productions Vid: Sendai Japan
48 Hours in SENDAI & YAMADERA TEMPLE: What to do & eat
Fellow Explorers,
You might enjoy our latest video — an incredible 48-hour adventure in Sendai, the vibrant capital of Miyagi Prefecture, and a breathtaking day trip to the iconic Yamadera Temple in Yamagata! If you’re planning a trip to the Tohoku region of Japan, this vlog is your perfect guide to the best sights, activities, and, of course, the most delicious food. In this video, we’ll take you along as we ride the Shinkansen from Tokyo, check into our hotel, and immediately dive into Sendai’s culinary scene. We’ll try the city’s two most famous dishes: savory grilled beef tongue (gyutan) and the uniquely sweet edamame paste treat, zunda. We’ll explore the bustling Clisroad Shopping Street, get lucky with some gashapon, and even catch the spectacular fireworks kicking off the Sendai Tanabata Festival. Next, we embark on a scenic train journey to Yamadera to climb the 1,000 stone steps to its stunning mountaintop temple, offering panoramic views that are absolutely worth the hike. After our spiritual journey, we refuel with some amazing soba noodles before heading back to Sendai for more shopping and a delicious yakitori dinner.
This one is a “long” 43 minutes… so sit down on the sofa, put it up on the TV, sit back, relax and enjoy it!
