Leaving at morning but it was very gray and mistyrain was everywhere
This should be the national 4th road... and rain
Oh, I'm near sendai airport... How come?
雨 rain and I feel like turning back
Since I was cycling in the rain for 2h by now... Ususally it cleares by 10 but it's 8.55 still :'(
Long way to go
It's hard to smile when everything is dripping water and even camera is suffering. And I want to turn back!!!
Maybe I'll continue. This is what happens when you make plans and you have to go by them. しまった！！！
A lot of minis

Getting out of the town nad the clouds are low or is that mist
A beautiful shirine and cemetary
The way

The national road 4 国道４
Shopping town for those who have cars and don't want to go for the city center

Zao? How can I have come here. Shouldn't this be near Yamagata!
A man cutting the grass of from the sideways of the rice field
I wonder why they still do that by hand. Maybe it's a way of life...
And where I have turned wrong now??? I have to go to 蔵王山 some time.
Almost every shop in the road are a restaurant. This is one of the best ookig ones. But must be expensive.
starting to clear up. I hope
Near Shiroishi
Skulpter shop. They are skillfull!
Rain or not to rain?

Found a exit to Shiroichi (I went past the first one. I realized that on the way back ^_^)
There's something interesting here
A small memorial. How nice
Shiroishi
Made it this far and now I'm almost dry. Except... Some thing takes more time to dry up. :-(
Found something interesting on the horisont
Going for the castle
Let's buy a 300en ticket to the castle
The ticket and the brousure in japanese ^^
I just love the view of that one
going in
the gateway. This castle belonged to thwe right hand of Date Masamune.
It was rebuild in 1995. And they did a good job.
It would be like other place if there weren't this castle
the castle grounds
a minaret?
Going in
inner yard
view from the 1st floor
There one can wear the clothes of the noble
Here they would have poured the oil and other nasty things on top of the invaders.
Inner look
The woodwork is beautiful and the trees that they have build this castle are so old
The view from the top floor
This is my first time in this type of castle. Yay!
more of the defending holes
I was here!
one more look
There's a park near here
Maybe a memorial of the workers.
How can they make those so round?
A shrine next to the castle
Be the gods of victory be with you!
last glimpse of the castle
A samurai dress
They said that I have to taste the speciality callen うーめん (uumen). It's a little different from ramen
More of the trash art ^_^
The Shiroishi railwaystation. You could have guessed that?
Returning home
The day is rainy perhaps. I hope that I won't get wet again...
Nice views are covered by mist
there's the castle dominating the scenery. Nice :D
Do you also have to remind me?
There's american military on the mobile march.
Two personell trucks and a hummer.
VolksWagen. Also rare to see!
There's the land marks from Tokyo every 100m. People are so glad to go away from Tokyo?
The house that is being supported only by the iron frame itself.
も帰る！！！
Long way to go back
Hey it's santa!
Rare mark in Japan
