Michinoku National Park, located about an hour's drive from Sendai, is a vast and beautifully landscaped public park spread over 650 hectares. It features playgrounds, flower fields, a boating lake, and an open-air folk museum. Visitors can enjoy the scenic beauty of the park with its colorful flowers, fountains, and even a variety of fish in the lake. While entry to the park requires a ticket on most days, there are select days with free entry.
It's a big area that has field playground, flower park, canteen and small history house (about preserved insect and old-life tools).
There are many various flower and plants here. There's also a board near the plant to introducing the species and name of it.
Entrance ticket cost me 450¥
Bus ticket cost is 1140¥
It's recommended to come on summer or on the bright day.

Julie Lorenzo — Google reviewIt is one of the great parks in Sendai area. It has pretty much everything you might expect at a park. It is mainly divided into three parts. The main part has the lots of playgrounds for the kids. Huge parking area. The admission fee is 450 yen for adults and free for the kids. Parking area is 310 yen for regular cars. There are various flower parks, lake where you can enjoy boat riding, bbq area, a special village with old style Japanese houses, indoor ball pool, small tricycles for kindergarten level and foot wheel type car ride for uppers and huge relaxing places. There are shops and bathrooms around.
The second part which I didn’t visit yer but saw on the map has eco-camp ground, livestock barn, dog park and several other beautiful places. You can enter from the north gate.
The third part is mainly a forest like area. There is a forest school in it. Great place for students to experience nature.
Overall great place for both kids and adult. You can spend whole day here. Would like to come back again.
Ceco23 — Google reviewWhen maple leaves meet with Kochia scorparia. Very interesting mix! Well worth the parking fee n the entrance fee for just seeing them.
Ballchi Chan — Google reviewAmazing outdoor park with lots of stuff to discover. Nice flower gardens, a Skansen of old Japanese houses from Tohoku and big playground with sports activities for children and adults. Cheap entry, clean restrooms and cafes / restaurants scattered across the venue make for a great place to spend the day!
Jerry Sigmund — Google reviewWhat a beautiful place. Green fields, beautiful flowers, mountain views and riverside picnic spots. You can BBQ, play ball games, and it's big enough that it never seems too crowded. I went to go see the red bush, the plant. Not Irish women beautiful stuff. Highly recommended.
