A recommended spot that I went to on my trip to Miyagi! This complex cultural facility in Ishinomaki City is based on white, and the warmth of the wood and the way the light shines in are very nice. It also has a cafe, so it's perfect for a break. There were so many places that I wanted to take pictures, and before I knew it, I was there for about two hours 𓅯 ⸒⸒ There were not many people, and there were chairs and tables here and there, so I could enjoy my time by working or reading a book. It seems that it is lit up at night. The atmosphere seems to change completely! Next time I'd like to visit it at night ♪ 📍Maruhon Maki Art Terrace (Ishinomaki City Complex Cultural Facility) 1-8 Kaisei, Ishinomaki City, Miyagi Prefecture 986-0032 #Travel with me #Miyagi #Miyagi Prefecture #Miyagi Trip #Ishinomaki #Maruhon Maki Art Terrace #Miyagi Tourism #Japan Trip #Free Spot #Photogenic Spot #Girls Trip

It is said that if you pray here three years in a row, you will never have to worry about money. The god of fortune. You have to be called. It's in a very difficult location to get to, so you have to take a boat from Onagawa Port or Ayukawa Port to Mt. Kinka. Regular boats only run on weekends. At other times, you'll have to charter a sea taxi. The boat trip is about 40 minutes from Onagawa Port and about 15 minutes from Ayukawa Port. When you arrive at Mt. Kinka, there will be a van from the shrine to pick you up, but if you can't get on, you'll have to walk up the hill. After receiving the prayer and praying, it's just time for the return boat. I'm going to keep going for another two years.

#DomesticTravelRecord I took the Senseki Tohoku Line from JR Sendai Station to Ishinomori Manga Museum in Ishinomaki City 🚃 As soon as I arrived at Ishinomaki Station, the Cyborg 009 characters greeted me 😄 It's about a 15-minute walk from the station, but it's fun to stroll around the city as the characters created by Shotaro Ishinomori are all around the road 🙂 At the entrance to the manga museum, a sand sculpture of Cyborg 009 was on display, as well as cars from the current Super Sentai series and handprints by various artists 👀 When I went inside, the Ishinomori world unfolded, and it was a space that fans would love ✨ I also strongly felt that the fact that it was rebuilt in this location despite the damage caused by the tsunami during the earthquake and tsunami must have had a great meaning for both the locals and Ishinomori.
