I got muscle pain lol
There are 62 steps, in honor of Sendai's 620,000 koku, but it's quite a steep hill just to get there!
However, parking is free if you show your visit ticket, which is very reasonable.
It was nice to be able to see the statue of Date Masamune, which can only be seen once a year.
I was also moved to see the graves of those who committed suicide or died following their lord nearby.
I never get tired of looking at the beautiful colors and designs of the openwork carvings.
