#展望台
Tamatorizaki observation point 玉取崎展望台is one of the major tourist attraction on Ishigaki island 石垣島. It is a free observation point at the northern part of the island, where the Hokubo peninsula 平久保半島starts. It took me more then 3 hours by mamachari bycicle to get there. The road along the coast is quite challenging with a bycicle without gears, because it has lots of small slopes. However, the view is very rewarding with a perfect emerald blue ocean on both sides of the island. And some cool trees. With cows. Very beautiful, indeed!

A Tohoku-Hayabusa Shinkansen arriving at Sendai station 仙台駅. There are two free observation decks on the top floor of the AER building with quite a good view of the whole city. One is facing north, the other one south. The building is right next to Sendai station and provides a very good first orientation if you just arrived. It does not open before 10:30 though, so if you arrive early in the morning like me, you have to wait some time.
Sendai itself is a very attractive city with lots of green spaces and some cool places to see. Aobayama 青葉山 with its castle ruins and Date Masamunes mausoleum Zuihoden 瑞鳳殿 for example. The cities nickname is 杜の都, capital of trees.
