Shiogama Sakura Event Tomorrow!!

Saturday, April 12, the seaside town of Shiogama, Miyagi (330 yen and 30 minutes from Sendai via the Senseki Line to Honshiogama station) will host some fun seasonal events.

It looks like the area around the shrine will be getting festive from 3PM with bigger events scheduled for the 6PM to 8PM time slot. Shiogama shrine and the smaller nearby Okama shrine will both have fun activities going on including music, a lantern light up event, and sake tasting at the local Urakasumi sake brewery.

If you are in Miyagi or the surrounding areas and looking for a fun way to celebrate the new season this weekend, Shiogama is your best bet Saturday afternoon. Come see how magical the cherry blossoms look when the sun goes down!
