Imagine a walk through the woods, listening to the ancient trees whisper their secrets to you as you pass beneath their branches. This is the Yasoen Park. Also called the Sendai City Wild Plants Garden, there is an abundance of beautiful trees and flowers that are worth seeing. There are flowers for each season, and lots of open spaces for children to run around. Plant enthusiasts will enjoy this park not only for the unique vegetation, but also for the chance to purchase plants. The entrance fee for adults is only 200 yen. The park can be easily accessed by bus from Bus Stop #11 at Sendai Station.

"They look like an army of protectors" haha! Great photos I love the flowers in number 10
The tree with the army is certainly one I don't see everyday. The plants and flowers here are so lovely :)
