Sendai, Japan

I had a couple of days off in the middle of the week, so I decided that I should check out a city that I have never been to before.  I decided to go to Sendai.  It was a 7 hour bus ride from Shinjuku bus terminal until Sendai station.  The bus was very comfortable, but didn't have wifi.  I was a bit shocked by that.  
However, I had a wonderful time in Sendai.  I checked out Yamadera and Matsushima while I was there.   I even went inside the 6th tallest statue in the world, Sendai Daikannon.  It stands at 100 meters.  It was very impressive!  Until next time Sendai!
