Sendai Castle Honmaru Ruins is located on top of Aobayama Park, overlooking the city of Sendai. The castle was constructed by Date Masamune in 1600s as the base of the Sendai domain. While some structures within the castle area were eventually demolished, visitors can still appreciate the significance of this site through its remaining features. Nowadays, the castle ruin has been preserved as part of Aobayama Park, which includes the famous statue of Masamune on horseback. This location is not only a historical site but also provide visitors with a stunning view. They can enjoy the sweeping panorama of Sendai City, Sendai Bay and other famous Sendai attraction such as the Sendai Dai Kannon. Highly recommended to give it a visit no matter you are interested in history or simply want to take in the scenic beauty.

Arriving to Sendai should go as follows: get a zunda shake from Zunda Saryo, go to the Loople Sendai bus with 210 yen, take the bus to the castle ruins and admire the view. I swear just standing atop this mountain and looking out makes me feel so at peace. I think it’s a great sunset spot, and it’s free. You may have to pay for the entry to the shrine, but the view is free. You can also see the Daikannon statue in the distance, which when it was first constructed was the tallest statue in the entire world. I believe at current it sits at number 6.

There is no castle, but still plenty to explore, including the shrine, historical ruins, statues, and an observation deck. The view from up there is really stunning and you can see the whole Sendai city. There's a VR tour available (3 out of 5) You have pay extra 800 yen for that [2023 Oct]. The last showtime is around 15:00. Make sure to check that in advance, if you want to try this. You can take the loop bus (which leaves every 20 mins). Be aware: on weekends and holidays, it can get crowded and will have a huge queue for the loop bus.

We were excited to go visit this place as we imagined the ruins would be something like the ones in Athens or Rome. Well, it wasn't. There were nothing to see except the castle wall and a statue and 2 temples/shrines. Although there was no ruins to see, the view of Sendai at the top of the hill was good.

A great spot to view Sendai from top. Even you can see the big statue from here. Lots of people since I went there during the golden week but no need to worry cause it is a big place. I took the designated shuttle bus from Sendai city museum after taking the Loop Bus.
