MIYAGIKYO Distillery. The location was selected for whisky production because of its clean air, just the right humidity for storage, and abundant underground water filtered through a layer of peat. In Yoichi, Masataka Taketsuru saw numerous reminders of Scotland, and this convinced him that this should be the home of Japanese Whisky. The Miyagikyo Distillery is also in northern Japan, in Sendai (lat.38 N), Miyagi Prefecture, northern Honshu. Travelling in the area one day, Masataka came upon this site completely enclosed by mountains and sandwiched between two rivers. He immediately knew that this was the perfect site for whisky distilling. Sendai's fresh water, suitable humidity and crisp air produce soft and mild malt.

This is the second of only two Nikka distilleries in Japan. For over half a century, the brick warehouses tucked away in the mountains of Sakunami have been slow-aging the good stuff. Enjoy a tour, shopping, samples, and whisky bar. The train ride there offers nice views as well.

The castle ruins were a nice visit and there’s a great view from the railing. There are shops, vending machines and souvenirs.

Less than an hour drive from Sendai, there are 3 viewing areas: one a short set of stairs down from the Botanical Gardens parking lot, one from the bridge over the river below, and one by walking 5-10 minutes down some steeper stairs to the bottom of the falls themselves. The bowl of the falls is covered in lush moss and other greenery. Quite beautiful and recommended.

Many different exhibits for everybody of all languages. This may be a culture thing, but an aquarium has fish, but had an exhibit for fishing. Usually aquariums try to protect fish not show how to fish them. The dolphin show and individual dolphin picture experience was cool. The presentation is in Japanese, but they do show a dolphin doll, so non japanese speakers can figure out the do's and don'ts.
