Born and raised in Kesennuma, she is a true Miyagi local; leave all information about Kesennuma to her. While Kesennuma is famous for sharks, her favorite food is said to be shark heart.
A ryokan nestled in Akiu Onsen, the inner parlor of Sendai. You can enjoy the beauty of the mountain stream, which stands out in every season, from all guest rooms. In the lounge, where 'Date' style hospitality shines, you can spend a moment forgetting your daily life while listening to the murmuring of the stream and feeling the breeze.
My recommendation for the Akiu area is that there is plenty of delicious food. There are many places like Akiu Winery and Great Dane Brewing where you can enjoy locally made drinks, as well as many stylish cafes. Everything is delicious, so please try eating and drinking there at least once!
It is a beach near Aqua Ignis Sendai, about a 40-minute drive from KAI Akiu. I only go there occasionally, but the sea you can see from there is very beautiful. If the weather is nice, you can take wonderful photos! Aqua Ignis Sendai has many shops, including day-trip hot springs and cafes, so you can enjoy the whole day there, including the beach.
My most memorable trip was to Okinawa. I was born in a place by the sea, so I went to Okinawa because I wanted to see the ocean. Unlike the sea in my hometown, I was very moved by the emerald green water and took many photos. I want to travel to a place with a beautiful sea again.
When I don't have any plans, I often watch Korean or Chinese dramas. I find the culture, which is different from Japan's, interesting, and I watch them without worrying about the time.
I often bring things like 'chibi-nui' (small plushies) with me so I can engage in 'oshi-katsu' (supporting my favorite idols/characters) even while traveling. I enjoy things like visiting sacred sites.
