Sakunamori and Jogi: Triangle Aburaage and Miyagikyo Distillery Tour
A drive to Sendai's inner sanctuary of Sakunamori and Jogi-san, where you'll savor local delicacies to the fullest. First, pay your respects at Jogi Nyorai Saihouji Temple (定義如来西方寺), affectionately known as 'Jogi-san,' then enjoy fresh-fried triangular aburaage at the Jogi Tofu shop in front of the temple. In the afternoon, visit Nikka Whisky Sendai Factory's Miyagikyo Distillery (宮城峡蒸溜所), nestled in the gorge where the Hirose and Nikkawa rivers meet, to tour the red-brick distillery buildings and listen to the water music of Houmeishijuuhassaki Waterfall. Cap off your day with a planetarium show at the Sendai Planetarium. A perfect mountain drive for couples and food-loving duos.
