Shibata

Shibata straddles the Shiroishi River in southern Miyagi Prefecture, where the river corridor has long linked the town with the wider Abukuma basin. Funaoka Castle Ruins Park occupies a hill above the centre, preserving the site of a former castle and serving as one of the area’s best-known places for spring cherry blossoms. Along the Shiroishi, the Hitome Senbonzakura cherry-tree avenue continues toward neighbouring Ogawara, with the Zaō Mountains forming a familiar presence beyond the plain. Shibata is also served by the Tōhoku Main Line, connecting it directly with Sendai and Fukushima.
