This shidare sakura tree located in the Kawai family's garden in Tama City has been designated a tangible cultural asset. You can see it for yourself by the entrance of Tsurumaki-Nishi Park, but please respect that the garden and the tree itself are part of a private residence, and remain in the public Tsurumaki-Nishi Park.
Tsurumaki-Nishi Park is a 5-minute walk from Karakida Station on the Odakyu Tama Line, or a 15-minute walk from Sanrio Puroland.

Akiu Onsen's nearby craft village gives you a unique chance to see some original Japanese woodworking and other crafts up close. Sendai is famous for its oaken cabinets and dressers, dyed textiles, and hand-carved kokeshi dolls. At the various workshops you'll be able to watch the craftsmen at work, and purchase any items that have caught your eye. For a more hands-on experience, try painting the face of a kokeshi doll yourself! You might be surprised by the different styles you and your friends come up with.

The Loople Sendai bus has really come into its own recently as a great way for tourists to make their way around Sendai's major sightseeing areas. Lately there have been more and more customers riding around town on the retro-themed bus. Give it a try the next time you're in Sendai!
