Kita Sendai

There really is not much in Kita Sendai, but I like the neighborhood.This was after I had safely crossed the street.

Walking Around Kita Sendai

I remember I took a picture hereabout four years ago and I had never seen the wires above before I took the picture.

It is not the best idea to walk here during rush hour.

JR Senzan Line in Kita Sendai

I was waiting for the train to pass to cross the tracks. This particular stop light has the worst timing and for some reason, all lights are red even if you don't want to cross the tracks.

Back Alley

One of the giveaways as to the age of a neighborhood is the alleys.

Steps

Steps to a shrine in Kita Sendai.

The Cat Days of Summer

This guy was too out of it to even stand up as I walked past him (or her).

Kita Sendai Asakusa

There is a street in Kita Sendai named "Asakusa". There is no shrine, there are no yakiniku restaurants, and no cockroaches, so I wonder why they chose the name.

Night Apartment

A typical apartment building decorated with satellite TV dishes.

Kita Sendai Bakery

My wife loved coming here. Good thing there is a bakery in our new neighborhood as well.

Pink Sunset

I walked outside my [former] apartment to see the sky turning pink at sunset. I should touch this up to make it look like what I actually saw.

Rain in Sendai

It's no fun to walk on narrow roads. It's worse to do it on rainy days when carrying an umbrella. When driving, I am always afraid of hitting an umbrella (since people here insist on walking side-by-side).

Build High

The new condo is being built on the other side of Tohoku University's Department of Agriculture.

View from Kita Sendai

I won't be able to see this view much anymore now that I'm moving. On a side note, that 99 Yen Shop closed it's doors without warning one day. It wasn't because of a lack of business from me.

Kita Sendai Apartment

The building in the lower-right corner is where I got an x-ray for my foot.

A look at my neighborhood from in front of the station.

Retro Store

I love seeing these kinds of stores around Sendai.

Down the Alley

I really like the colors of the pine needles on the ground.

Mountain God

This is in front of one of the many shrines around Kita Sendai and Kita Yama.

Crooked Stairs

I don't know how this came out crooked since my camera has a digital level. I guess the stairs and gate are off.

The Road to Nowhere

Judging by the sign, this is a road for kids to take to get to school. The problem is that around the corner there is a dead end in the form of a gate. In the background you can see the ramp of what used to be the road which now leads to a house. I wonder why the sign was left up.
