Aoba Castle in Sendai

Lord Masamune chose Mount Aoba for the location of his castle when he built it in 1600. Masumune is often depicted with his famous helmet featuring a moon crescent. Unfortunately the castle was destroyed by bombing during the war but the main wall was reconstructed and the site offers a great view of the city of Sendai. The Gokoku Shrine, which is affiliated to Tokyo’s Yasukuni shrine, is also located on site.
