 | It takes 46 minutes by train to go from Sendai station to Shiroishi. The castle is located about 15 minutes by foot from Shiroishi station. I bought a ticket right away and went inside. There was a steep stairs and it smelled like wood. The reconstructed castle is a three story building and, according to the man at the entrance, is 16 meters high just like the original. The only difference is that instead of the stairs built today there was a ladder. Inside the castle there were many contraptions recreated from the past. The one that I liked the most was called Dropping the Stone. Holes were made in the floor and when the enemy came inside the people above dropped stones from the holes onto the enemy below. It's a real sneaky way of attacking and I thought whoever thought of this idea was a real genius! It was a challenge trying to figure out where you could go and what you could do for 1,000 yen. The fun part about this trip was planning the whole thing. I really learned to appreciate the value of 1,000 yen. |  |
