🐎 Lucky “Horse” New Year Run & Walk in Sendai — Nijusanyado, Kenseiin Temple Route 🗻
Start the new year with a unique run & walk adventure, drawing a zodiac “Horse” around Sendai’s sacred Nijusanyado, Kenseiin Temple — Kenshōin!
Kenshōin enshrines Tokudai Seishi Bosatsu, protector of those born in the Year of the Horse, and offers horse-themed charms and ema — including the playful “Uma-ku iku” lucky charm (“go well like a horse”), perfect for welcoming good fortune.
Passing Sendai Station, Aoba-dōri, and Nishikichō Park, this route blends city energy with serene temple districts and academic culture at Tohoku University, plus artistic stops like Kamei Museum. A perfect harmony of nature, culture, and spirituality unique to Sendai.
Draw your Horse, boost your luck — and gallop into the year in the City of Trees!
