Shah Jee - シャハジー
"Technically" in Ohira but it is a very small Indian-Pakistani restaurant which is easy to miss when driving by on National Route 4. Very good authentic Pakistani food, maybe best of all of Miyagi! The family speaks some English and are very friendly! |

Parks

Hasekura Memorial Park - 支倉メモリアルパーク
Hasekura Tsunenaga was a samurai and a retainer of Date Masemune. He was the first Japanese person to sail to Rome on a diplomatic mission. He is considered the first Japanese ambassador to the Americas and Spain. He went on mulitple missions to Europe before Japan underwent years of isolation. This park is dedicated to him. Tsukidate Park A lovely park with Sakura trees as far as the eye can see. It's on a big hill with many places to spread out and chill; perfect for hanami! Access is off the main road via a very tiny road that is lined with many houses. Look for the sign with the pirate ship. You can park in the big grass clearing at the base. Go Go Land A small, tiny, miniscule park located next to a Komer. It's a infamous landmark people use as "Oh, I'm in Osato". |
