Yamadera is made from the words yama aka mountain and tera aka temples and as can be seen from the above picture, absolutely beautiful.
Yamadera station is only an hour train ride away from Sendai, perfect for a day trip.
As can be seen on this map outside the station, there are many steps and temples on the way to the top. I think there are 1000 steps.
There are no cable cars to take you up but the trek was not too difficult with many places to rest.
Saw this cat at the entrance where you had to pay to go up the steps.
The higher we went, the better the views got.
People sticking 1 yen coins to the rock surfaces.
Stunning.
Viewing platform at the top.
Reminds me of Shirakawago.
Took this shot on the way down.
Had soba and meat and rice set for late lunch. I think it was around 2 or 3pm by the time we came back down.
Hand made grape and apple juice.
Very shy cat.
Went back to Sendai and walked around shopping arcades.
Made the big mistake of going to this cafe in a shopping centre because they had omurice with demiglace sauce. Never ever go to cafes serving western food in shopping centres because its usually bad.
