Aobayama Park is a well-known tourist attraction located in the west side of Sendai city. It offers a quiet and relaxing environment for visitors. Inside the park, you'll find the Sendai City Museum (Under renovation until 31 Mar 2024), the Sendai Castle Ruins, and the Miyajiken Gokoku Shrine. To reach Aobayama Park, you have a couple of options. If you are coming from Sendai City, a leisurely walk will lead you here. Alternatively, hop on the underground to the International Center Station. Keep in mind that due to its hillside location, there's an upward walk of approximately 20 minutes from the entrance to the castle ruins. If you're up for some light exercise and want to enjoy scenic views, Aobayama Park is definitely worth a visit.

I believed this park was located on the site of the old Sendai castle. The castle is no longer there but we do see some old remnants of the past castle. This park offered a panoramic view of the Sendai city. Within the park, there are many different historical structures but sadly, when we were there, there was some renovation work on the Date Masamune on a horse statue but they did put up a picture on site for tourists to take pictures. We parked our car right at the bottom of the hill and walked up. It was quite a climb and took us around 30 minutes but if did offer us great views along the way.

The road to the top, where the castle is (or was) is beautiful. The vegetation is lush and it's all green (I visited in October). The slope is a bit tough to climb but it's worth it. Otherwise there is a bus that goes to the top. You can take it from the stop near the visitor center. At the top, you will be able to enjoy a magnificent view of the city. You will find a shop where you can buy souvenirs and sweets and a small food court. If you have the chance try the zunda (edamame beans) milk shake or ice cream. It doesn't sound like it but it's delicious!

We walked up there from Sendai station. It was long. But definitely worth it (on the way back we took the subway, only 3 stops to Sendai). It is a beautiful climb (steep) and you get to the old castle, then a few more steps and you are before the statue that inspired the Star Wars character. Beautiful view of the city. Going down is a breeze and you will listen to the many birds hiding in the thick trees.

The ruins of a castle ! I always like visiting caste but this is one of the most beautiful (thought there is no remaining castle now) but the view from the castle is just mind blowing. I don’t know exactly reason but there were some debate so the Govt. demolished the castle.

公園、といっても、仙台城址からその下の博物館と東北大の記念会館の広場あたり、そしてその広域の森林一帯を指すもので「ここが公園」という区切られた広場ではありません。 そのため、どこに公園があったのだろう、と思いがちですし、ピンの立つ場所は森の中だったりします。 ということで、公園はどこ？というと「この辺一帯」という答えになります。 なお、2023年ごろには、青葉山公園センター、という施設ができるのでそのころになると、青葉山公園、という認識になる公園＆施設が存在するようになるでしょう。 なお、長らく仙台に住んで、大学も大学院もこの辺で過ごしたのですが、青葉山の全容は把握できませんでした。竜の口渓谷というすごく深い崖がありあまりそっちの方へは入っていけない地形で、立ち入って散策するような森ではないため。 （余談です） かつては竜の口渓谷の入り口に入ってさかのぼることもできました。20世紀の終わりごろ理学部の学部生時代には、地学部は実習で竜の口渓谷を調査に歩く、と聞いていました。八木山橋からの自殺者の遺体を発見することもあったとうわさには聞いていて、地学は大変だな―、と。 いまは、八木山橋はかなり厳重なフェンスができて、他方、竜の口への入り口も入れないようにしてあるそうです。 安全性を確保したうえでの、竜の口渓谷を歩くツアーがあったらいいなぁとは思うのですが。 この竜の口渓谷も奥の方では浅くなり、青葉山の奥のゴルフ場の東側、ドローン練習場の西側に始点があるようで、そこよりも奥では警告は一切ありません。 どこまでも続く渓谷に思える竜の口ですがそんな感じで、奥まで行くと、どこかでなくなります。 そのため、八木山の駅の裏（北側）から、砂利道を歩いていくと、渓谷はなく、そのまま青葉台（西澤研究所のあたり）へ抜けることができます。
