Remarkable and historical Shiogama boasts a history of over 120years , it was said to have been the first shrine built in the Tohuku region. A very nice environment, calm and beautiful scenery. Recommended to have a visit.

If you're going there by car in winter time, make sure to fit car with winter tires, parking area sometimes gets full and you have to park uphill and to go there it's narrow slippery uphill road covered with snow and ice. If you don't have experience to handle such road, don't challenge it there.

A serene and tranquillize shrine in the heart of Shiogama city. It is not crowded so you can enjoy the nature as well.

Temple atmosphere itself gives us high energy. I love to go there again. A well maintaind temple with full of lush greenery and located in a hill. Has a very steep stairs from oneside and accessible by car from the other side too. Area is big and can walk for hr or two. Beautiful matsuhima islands also can be seen and its very nice as i went there near sunset time.

Located in a very lush and green area, the temple is well maintained and beautifully decorated. I went to visit early morning and there were almost no people aside from a few on a morning stroll or doing morning gymnastics. The temple is clean and open, and there are public restrooms on the hilltop should it be needed. I don’t know how crowded it might be during the day, but I got to enjoy the holy site in silence :))

Beautiful, beautiful shrine. I really enjoyed it. One entrance makes you go up a lot of stairs, and the other doesn't.

Worth coming to have a look if you're in Shiogama, but wouldn't come out of your way to see it or anything. Just another one of Japan's many shrines, and like most of them the area is pretty with some nice well maintained gardens and historical building and structures. Entry is free. The stairs that take you up here get the heart pumping, just as a fair warning.

This shrine is truly a special place that must be visited. Do yourself a favour and plan your trip during spring so that you can see the cherry blossoms in full bloom. We were lucky to see some late snow which added even more beauty to the experience. Take the time to walk the long steps and take in the natural serenity of the gardens and surrounds.

Beautiful place and there’s lots you can see here. I recommend going in spring since you get to see the cherry blossoms.

The shrine is very quiet and serene.

An impressive building with a good exhibition area. It lacks the wow factor for a five star rating but is worth a visit. I imagine that one to two hours is sufficient to see everything. Outside are some relocated historic buildings which are very good.

The museum is surrounded by sakura trees and a little lake. It is also next to a nature and historical trail so it's a good place for leisurely, educational, historical...you get the drift. Come here for coffee and ice cream while overlooking the scenery.

Excellent museum! All main exhibits about yhe History of Tohoku are in multiple languages (including english) Special exhibitions are typically only in Japanese. Highly recommend taking an hour or two and visiting while you're in the area!

Great little museum at a good price! Most of the displays had English translations which is great for forign visitors like myself. There's also a really neat outside area with a few old school style buildings. There was a man who worked there tending a fire in that area who spoke with me. Even though I don't spreak much Japanese he was very patient and kind to me, which I really appreciated.

This is actually quiet a beautiful museum. I has a complete package of museum, a garden, an old traditional house, library, children corner. Although not seems to be recommended probably due to many better spot surrounding it such as matsushima, this museum in my opinion deserves a visit, especially if you like history stuffs.

The main exhibit is pretty good; the Lascaux Caves exhibit was kind of weak - not much explanation and they fluffed it up with quite a bit of filler.

Awesome Museum. Very informative, very interesting and accessible to English speakers too. Loved the exhibit on the restoration and preservation of the artifacts.

(Translated by Google) I stopped by during a trip. A baseball game was being held on a Sunday in December. It made me feel nostalgic. (Original) 旅の途中で寄りました。１２月の日曜日で野球の試合が行われていました。懐かしい気持ちになりました。

(Translated by Google) It's perfect for a leisurely stroll. There are gateball fields, tennis courts, and baseball fields nearby that everyone can enjoy. (Original) ぶらっと散歩するのに最適です。近くにゲートボール場やテニス場や野球場があり，皆さん楽しんでおられます。

(Translated by Google) I went in the evening, but there were not many street lights and I was too scared to walk without a light. (Original) 夕方行ったのですが、街灯が少なくライト無しでは怖くて歩けません。

(Translated by Google) I went there for my son's baseball tournament. The park was spacious and well maintained. (Original) 息子の野球の大会で行きました。公園内は広く、きれいに整備されていました。

(Translated by Google) It is a park full of greenery! ️It's cool to walk along the path in the shade of the trees, and sometimes a pheasant will suddenly cross your path. I volunteer to clean the area several times a year when I feel like it. Are the restrooms intentionally locked on days when they are closed? Or maybe it's closed because I don't want to use it. Rent the bathroom in the adjacent Big. I would like everyone to work together to maintain this beautiful park. (Original) 緑豊かな公園です‼️木陰の小径を歩くと涼しいし、たまに、雉が突然横切ったりします。年に数回、気が向いた時、ボランティアでお掃除します。トイレが休みの日は意図的に施錠しているのか？それとも使わせないのか閉まってます。隣接するビッグのトイレを借ります。ぜひ、みんなで美しい公園を維持していきたいです。

この図書館やっぱり普通じゃありません。 先ず入り口エントランス横には植え込みなどで囲われたグリーンテラスが設けられ、野外にも関わらずテラス席が備え付けられている。 しかもそのテラスと屋内を隔てる壁面はズドーンと3階面からの巨大なガラス張りになっています。 駅出口からも屋内(なかみ)が見えるのでは？程の、外からはチョッと見で とてもここが市立図書館とは思えぬ造りとなっていました。 さて、入り口から入って更に圧巻なのは、左手に一階から三階まで列なる吹抜けの壁そのものが、奥行き約20mはあるでしょうか？巨大な本棚になっている事でしょう。 そして右手には、高さは３階分からガラス張りに あしらわれた巨大空間が、それそのままに広いカフェ「スタバ」スペースとなっていて、ワーキングや、雑談などをする人たちで結構賑わっていました。 更に言うと、この建物のもう一つの顔となっているのが、入り口正面一階部分で文庫本や、コミック、雑誌、絵本、他などを販売する書店「蔦屋書店」のスペースとなっまています。 今回初めて伺いましたが、この街に移住でも したくなる様な そんな気持ちにさせる所でした。 (Translated by Google) This library is definitely not ordinary. First of all, there is a green terrace surrounded by shrubbery next to the entrance, and even though it is outdoors, there are terrace seats. What's more, the wall that separates the terrace from the inside is made of huge glass that extends from the third floor. Can you see the interior from the station exit? At first glance from the outside, it was hard to believe that this was a city library. Now, what is even more impressive when you enter from the entrance is the atrium wall itself, which stretches from the first floor to the third floor on the left, and is approximately 20 meters deep. It's probably a huge bookshelf. On the right hand side, there was a huge space with a glass wall that was three stories high and was used as a spacious cafe ``Starbucks'' space, and it was quite crowded with people working and chatting. Furthermore, another aspect of this building is the space on the first floor in front of the entrance for the bookstore ``Tsutaya Shoten,'' which sells paperback books, comics, magazines, picture books, and more. Masu. This was my first time visiting this place, and it made me feel like I wanted to move to this city.

Environment is perfect for the readers but English literature content is very countable. However, it provides me the absolute pleasure of reading....

I absolutely love this place. The library has very cool architecture that features lots of sunlight areas and book-filled-cabinet alleys. It also has DVD store, cafe and a restaurant. I would definitely visit this library more often if it weren't so far away from where I live in Sendai.

2024/02/10現在 おしゃれな空間が広がってます。 これは近所に欲しい施設ですね。 施設入口から入って、左側が市立図書館、右側が蔦屋書店になっています。 ◎市立図書館スペース 左側1階には生活、旅行、キッズコーナー 左側2階にはアート、人文、文芸、新聞コーナー 左側3階には専門書、学習スペースコーナー ◎蔦屋書店スペース 右側1階にはスタバ、蔦屋書店、子ども遊び場 右側2階にはレンタルコーナー（閉店） 右側3階にはレストラン (Translated by Google) As of 2024/02/10 A stylish space is expanding. This is a facility I want in my neighborhood. Entering from the facility entrance, the city library is on the left and Tsutaya Bookstore is on the right. ◎City library space On the 1st floor on the left, there is a lifestyle, travel, and kids corner. Art, humanities, literature, and newspaper corners are on the second floor on the left. On the third floor on the left side, there are specialized books and a study space corner. ◎Tsutaya bookstore space On the first floor on the right side, there is a Starbucks, Tsutaya Bookstore, and a children's play area. Rental corner on the 2nd floor on the right (closed) Restaurant on the 3rd floor on the right side

Just out the exit from Tagajo station on the Senseki line, you'll find a posh-looking new building. Three-story high glass windows cover half of the building, completementing the mostly solid structure of the other half. This could be a church, a bank, or a any of a number of other private institutions. Instead, the sign to the upper left of the face of the building reads Tagajo City Library. Inside on the first level, a Starbucks and a book store await the caffiene-starved, book-hungry patron. The open air of the lobby reveals not only the easily accessible elevator but also the business side of the second floor, Tsutaya. The national video rental chain has open a store in a prominent spot in the library, with great new titles on display and visable even from a distance. A great place for kids, this building boasts two different child-oriented spaces, including a two-story play structure indoors, at the back of the children's book section. In addition, a short walk away, you'll find a separately carpeted area for smaller kids featuring big picture books as well as smaller books with simple vocabulary for the developing mind. The children's book section alone carries over 30,000 titles for kids to enjoy, according to the Tagajo City Library website. The foreign books section seems to be at the back of the third floor study area, but if you have come with small children, be warned. Unless your children are especially quiet when you enter this area, the employees of the library will come to you not to provide assistance but instead insistence that you leave the purely silent room. Open from 9:30 AM to 9 PM, the Tagajo City Library is the place to read, relax or study.

図書館なので当然といえば当然ですが、静かで落ち着いているため心を休めるには最適な場所です。 新旧問わず古今東西の本が揃っています。 勉強スペース(3F、2Fカフェエリア)と読書スペース(1〜2F)が明確に分けられているため、どちらの目的で訪ねてもしっかり集中できるのもいいです。 (Translated by Google) It's only natural that it's a library, but it's quiet and calm, making it the perfect place to rest your mind. We have books from all over the world, both old and new. The study space (3F, 2F cafe area) and reading space (1st to 2nd floor) are clearly separated, so no matter which purpose you visit, you can concentrate well.

ゆっくり本が読めるソファや飲み物を置くテーブルが、至る所に設置されており、とても居心地が良い空間です。 キッズ用のスペースもあり。 静かすぎないので、子供と行っても疲れません。 隣の市営駐車場の駐車券を持って行くと、２時間無料になります。 (Translated by Google) There are sofas where you can relax and read a book, and tables where you can place drinks, making it a very comfortable space. There is also a space for kids. It's not too quiet, so you won't get tired even if you go with your kids. If you bring your parking ticket to the municipal parking lot next door, you can get 2 hours free.

図書館と書店が一緒になっています。 駅前なので便利！駐車場も目の前にコインパーキングがあります。 ワークショップをしていたり1階は比較的賑やかで上の階に行くほど静かに本を読んだり勉強したりできます。 ここなら勉強がはかどりそうです！ (Translated by Google) The library and bookstore are combined. Convenient as it's right in front of the station! There is also a coin parking lot in front of the parking lot. The first floor is relatively lively as workshops are held, and the higher you go, the quieter it is to read or study. I think you can study here!

多賀城駅改札からかなり近いので待ち合わせによく利用します。従来の図書館のイメージとはかけ離れたお洒落な図書館でした。 一階では書店やスタバ、コンビニ等が併設しており、ワークショップのようなものも。本を読みこむにはあまり向いていないかもしれませんが、わくわくする図書館です。 (Translated by Google) It's quite close to the Tagajo Station ticket gate, so I often use it for meetings. It was a stylish library that was far from the image of a traditional library. On the first floor, there is a bookstore, Starbucks, convenience store, etc., as well as a workshop. It may not be the best place to read books, but it's an exciting library.

多賀城駅に隣接していう上に駐車場も近隣にあり、かつ駐車料金は施設利用なら2時間無料。スターバックスも1階に入っているので快適。わりと勉強で使っている人も多いようです。 空間は明るくて広々したホールからキレイにまとまっていて近代的な印象です。本の検索もわかりやすいので、図書館をよく利用する人なら快適では。 館内？には蔦屋もあり食事できる店も入っています。 学習コーナーも比較的広く、土日はいっぱい。予約の制度については利用してないのでわかりません。 1階にはキッズコーナーもありますが広々しているせいか、騒がしいとは感じません。 本を読んだりコーヒーを飲んだりと時間を過ごすには充分な設備が整っており、また利用者に対する配慮も感じられる良い施設だと思いました。 (Translated by Google) In addition to being adjacent to Tagajo Station, there is also a parking lot nearby, and parking is free for 2 hours if you use the facility. There's also a Starbucks on the first floor, so it's comfortable. It seems that many people use it for studying. The space is bright and spacious, with a well-organized, modern feel. It's easy to search for books, so if you're a frequent library user, you'll find it comfortable. Inside the building? There is also a Tsutaya and a restaurant where you can eat. The learning corner is also relatively large and full on Saturdays and Sundays. I don't know about the reservation system as I haven't used it. There is also a kids corner on the first floor, but it doesn't feel noisy, probably because it's spacious. I thought it was a good facility with enough facilities to spend time reading a book or drinking coffee, and I could feel that they were considerate of the users.

The atmosphere isn't bad. But I don't understand why the staff tried to exclude foreigner who came and study there but not Japanese who did the same thing? I don't mind if it's the rules that we can't study there which 'EVERYONE' must follow but why you use 2 standard??? And at that time there wasn't much people too.

Pretty normal for a Starbucks. Nice seating area. Not bad for English lessons, though if there are a lot of trainees behind the line, expect a bit of a wait.

Its pretty good, a normal Starbucks

(Translated by Google) Near Tagajo Station on the Senseki Line. Tsutaya & Starbucks attached to the library. I visited on a Saturday evening. Most of the seats were occupied! It seemed to be crowded with locals. It's a modern and beautiful store! Not only is the ceiling high, but the bookshelves in the attached library are impressive! I feel like I can drink coffee even more deliciously. You may not go there often when you travel, but I don't think it would hurt to stop by on your way back from Matsushima. (Original) 仙石線多賀城駅の駅近。図書館併設の蔦屋&スタバです。 土曜の夕方に伺いました。席はほとんど埋まっていました！地元の方で賑わっている感じでした。 とにかくモダンでキレイな店舗です！天井が高いのもさることながら、併設の図書館の本棚の迫力！なんかコーヒーもより美味しく飲める気がします。 旅行で行くことはあまり無いかもしれませんが、松島の帰りにふらっと寄ってみて損はないと思います。

(Translated by Google) I really like the atmosphere because it's the closest to my parents' house and has a nice library and TSUTAYA. To my surprise, only elementary school students were drinking Frappuccino while doing their homework. (Original) 実家から距離的に一番近く素敵なライブラリー及びTSUTAYAが併設されている為とても雰囲気が気に入っています。 驚愕したことに小学生だけでフラペチーノを飲みながら宿題をやっていました。

(Translated by Google) Tagajo Library has a Starbucks, a bookstore, and TSUTAYA. Ah! There's also a convenience store called New Days, and there's also a somewhat stylish cafe-like restaurant on the third floor of the library. However, it's a little expensive and the quantity is small! I can't recommend it to people who eat it! It's definitely not enough! Has the taste gotten worse than before? If you have time, please take a look. (⁠ﾉ⁠≧⁠∇⁠≦⁠)⁠ﾉ⁠ ⁠ﾐ⁠ ⁠┻⁠━⁠┻ (Original) 多賀城図書館には、スタバと、本屋さんと、TSUTAYAが入ってるよ。あっ！後は、ニューデイズってコンビニもあるよ〜〜後は、図書館の3階に少しオシャレなカフェ的なレストランあるよ。ただ、少し高いし量が少ないかな！ 食べる人にはオススメ出来ないかな！確実に足りない！昔より味は落ちたかな？時間有ったら覗いてみてね？(⁠ﾉ⁠≧⁠∇⁠≦⁠)⁠ﾉ⁠ ⁠ﾐ⁠ ⁠┻⁠━⁠┻

(Translated by Google) This is my second visit. It's conveniently located next to Tagajo Station. There are many eat-in seats, so I was able to relax. All the staff at Starbucks are polite, but apparently when ordering drip coffee when eating in, you can choose between a mug or a paper cup, but which one should you choose? It's not often that people listen to me, so I get disappointed when they offer me a paper cup⤵︎This time, I was able to listen to either of them, so I didn't hesitate to ask for a mug. It was nice that the tables were well spaced. This is a store I would like to use again! ! (Original) ２度目の訪問です　多賀城駅に隣接していて便利な立地です　イートイン席も多いのでゆっくりできました。スタバはどの店員さんも丁寧ですが、、、イートイン利用時にドリップコーヒーをオーダーするとマグカップか紙コップで選ぶことできるらしいですが、どちらを選ぶか？聞いてもらえることがあまりなくて紙コップが提供されると残念になってしまいます⤵︎今回はどちらか聞いていただけたので遠慮なくマグカップお願いできました。テーブル間隔がゆったりしてて良かったです。また利用したいお店です！！
