Ichibancho Sendai

A look down Ichibancho while I was standing next to the Disney Store.

Ichibancho Live

I often do this when I am trying to take pictures without looking through the viewfinder, I do not aim high enough. Here I was trying to get a shot of the band. I decided to keep this picture after looking at it though. I like how my eye followed what everyone is looking at.

The Stone and the Buddha

A small statue (of Buddha?) was placed at the base of this marker.

Fish Go Round

This was my favorite plate of sushi of the night. It was not the most expensive (actually it was one of the cheaper ones) but I thought it tasted the best. Just your run-of-the-mill salmon.

This gate is called a torii and it is usually found in front of a shrine. Here it is found in a shopping arcade.

Thankful

I am thankful that I have a place to stay, a job, and a temple to go to on this New Years Day.

Alone

Alone is what I thought of when I came here. This hill used to have a shrine on it. When I first came here I had wondered if it was a safe haven during the tsunami. It was pretty tall. but as I came around, I saw that the hand rails on the stairs were ripped out and the entire shrine was gone from the top.
