I'm a Drexel University mechanical engineering student spending my 4th year studying at Tohoku University in Sendai, Japan. My time in Japan will begin in late September and end sometime around August. My plan is to attempt to make weekly posts about what it is like living and going to school in Sendai, along with whatever cultural information I can give.

Samurai House, Museum, and Ski Mountain

Here's another compilation I made using pictures and video from a trip with my Japanese Culture class. We went to check out an old samurai house used by the Date family (the founding samurai family of Sendai), a very small museum next door, and at the end we took a trip up to the closest ski area to Sendai. The original plan was to hike a bit up the mountain here, but it had rained all day the day before and it is apparently not safe enough to hike after it has rained. The view from the mountain was pretty awesome; you could see the entire city from the parking lot. It was cloudy that day, but our teacher told us that you can see all the way to the Pacific Ocean when it is clear.
