2025 Tagajo Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in August)

Tagajo, near Sendai Port, surprisingly has a beautiful library! Tagajo City Library, though a regional library, is highly designed with a sophisticated exterior and a mixed-use layout. The library is not just for reading and borrowing books; you can also enjoy a cup of coffee and browse through a cultural shop. Tagajo City Library is built on the concept of 'home,' creating an environment, space, and atmosphere that everyone wants to visit. The first floor features a Starbucks, where you can enjoy a coffee while looking out at the street view through the three-story high floor-to-ceiling windows. The entrance is a Tsutaya Bookstore, with large book walls and wooden elements that add a soft touch to the space. The second and third floors are the library and study rooms, with grand library floors filled with literature, humanities, arts, and other related materials, making it a relaxing reading space. For transportation, it takes about 20 minutes from JR Sendai Station to Tagajo. After arriving, it's about a 1-minute walk from the north exit, making it very convenient. You can also visit the Mitsui Outlet nearby.

Miyagi/Tagajo [Sendai's No. 1 Beef Tongue] 📍Tan-ya Zenjiro If you're in Miyagi, you have to eat beef tongue. So, Tan-ya Zenjiro is said to be the No. 1 beef tongue in Sendai. There are many different beef tongue set meals, but there are also many unique menu items such as beef tongue ramen and beef tongue curry🤣 You can choose the number of slices for the beef tongue set meal, so even a small meal will be very satisfied! The limited-edition Manaka tongue is thick but soft and very juicy! The extra-thick beef tongue has a chewier texture than the Manaka tongue, and I personally prefer the extra-thick one! The oxtail soup that comes with the set meal is also delicious...🤍 It's a bit expensive, but it's worth trying! ▪︎Manaka tongue set meal 3,850 yen ▪︎Extra thick beef tongue/beef tongue sausage set meal 2,860 yen 〔✏︎infomation〕 📌2-6-21 Machimae, Tagajo City, Miyagi Prefecture 985-0845 🅿️Free parking available #Miyagi tourism #Sendai tourism #Beef tongue #Gourmet

#cherryblossom25 If you’ve already seen the famous cherry blossoms at Meguro River or Ueno Park, I highly recommend visiting Kanda River for a more peaceful and intimate hanami experience. I visited on a weekend afternoon and was surprised by how quiet it was. There’s also a small elevated area that lets you look down over the sakura-lined river — on sunny days, the sunlight hitting the water and petals is just breathtaking✨ 📍 Kubomae Bridge (久保前橋) Perfect spot for wide-angle photos of the cherry blossom-lined river. 🗺️ Access: Take the train to Shimo-Ochiai Station or Takadanobaba Station, then walk about 10 minutes. The entire riverside path is gorgeous! #naturalwonders

Tagajo Castle Ruins Park offers a unique cherry blossom experience, blending history and nature in a single visit. The site of an ancient 8th-century castle, this park is home to beautiful cherry trees that bloom around the historical ruins, creating a picturesque setting. The contrast between the delicate pink petals and the stone foundations of the former castle makes for stunning photography opportunities. The park is spacious, with walking paths leading visitors through different areas of the historical site, all framed by blooming sakura. Unlike busier hanami spots, Tagajo Castle Ruins Park provides a calm and reflective atmosphere, ideal for those who enjoy history and nature together. If you want to experience cherry blossoms in a setting rich with cultural heritage, this park is an excellent destination during spring in Sendai.

#0yentripJanuary2025 【Tagajo Monument (Pot Monument, National Treasure)】 🕰️Opening hours: 2400~ 🏖️Atmosphere/Facilities: ◯ 📍Location: 16 Ichikawadayaba, Tagajo City, Miyagi Prefecture 985-0864 💰Price per person: 0~ 💞Reasons for recommendation: I was surprised at how inconspicuous it was☺️ However, it is amazing that it has not weathered over the years and the letters are still clearly readable👍 A living witness to Japan's history, we would like to continue to treasure it♡ If you visit by public transportation, you will have to walk from Tagajo Station, but there is no shortest route, so you will have to take a slight detour😅 Currently, the Tagajo Station ruins are being developed in the surrounding area, so perhaps the roads will be developed as well, but currently it is quite difficult to access💦 Also, are the surrounding roads just a shortcut? There is surprisingly a lot of car traffic, so be careful‼ ︎
