Aoba Ward

Aoba Ward has functioned as an administrative ward of Sendai in Miyagi Prefecture since 1989. It extends from the built-up centre on the Hirose River into the forested foothills of the Ōu Mountains, giving this large ward a broad range of urban and upland settings. The site of Sendai Castle, begun on the orders of warlord Date Masamune in 1601, occupies a hill above the river and remains a key reference point for the city. Farther west, the Hirose valley leads towards Sakunami, a longstanding hot-spring district. Explore nearby locations to understand how Aoba Ward connects with the wider terrain of Miyagi Prefecture.
