Sendai City Museum was not far from the castle site, but the sky was really dark already at 2pm...I decided to head back.
Wise decision as it turned out, it started raining when I got back to Sendai station, and it kept getting heavier and heavier...
I was so glad that I stayed in Metropolitan Sendai East! Within the JR Station complex there is a department store (S-PAL), a supermarket, many restaurants & Konbinis (including a place called Gyutan Street with 4 different specialty restaurants!) ....If my hotel was somewhere else, I'd probably spend the whole afternoon and evening in my room.
Just to give you an idea about the rain, remember Yodobashi?
That one
I wanted to go, but 5 seconds in the rain, quickly gave up and back to safety!
Even the papers were wondering about the weather.
