Miyagi Olle – Tagajo Trail Course

This approx. 8.5 km route, which commences at JR Senseki Line Tagajo Station, will take you past sites of poetic significance, leading you through the magnificent Tagajo South Gate- the main entrance to Tagajo Castle, Tohoku's ancient stronghold-before concluding at the Tagajo Castle Ruins Information Center.
On your journey, you will sense the rich tapestry of culture, history, and nature that has been woven over the 1,300 years that have passed since Tagajo was established as the ancient regional center of Tohoku.
Points of interest include various classical sites that inspired imperial poets, such as Omowaku Bridge, Noda-no-Tamagawa River, Ukishima, and the Tsubo no Ishibumi (Tagajo Stele). Within the Tagajo Castle Ruins, which have been designated as a Special Historical Site, seasonal plants featured in the classical Japanese poetry anthology Man’yoshu can be found alongside sites such as the Tagajo Temple Ruins and the Tagajo Government Headquarters Ruins.
