Traveler note

Date Masamune's mausoleum stays open until 20:30 for the three nights of Tanabata, lit by lanterns, with the main hall opened to view. A special Loople Sendai night bus runs to it every fifteen minutes between 17:15 and 21:00. It is the quiet half of Tanabata — the streamers downtown are shoulder to shoulder, and this is twenty minutes away up a hill.
