Japan Day 13 - In search of Haikyu!! & Pokémon

08 Nov - 2 weeks pass by quickly and soon it was time to embark on our journey to Hokkaido. Our first stop is at Sendai Station, where we need to collect the Shinkansen tickets we have booked back in Singapore. We quickly checked into Hotel Metropolitan Sendai, our hotel for the next 2 days and off we go to collect our train tickets.

Having watched "Haikyu!!", we simply cannot leave Sendai without going on a Haikyu tour. Taking inspiration from Mothership, we visited the Haikyu 4 manhole covers near Tomizawa Station and one of the 3 monuments that is located in Tomizawa Park. The other 2 are located at Aoba Gymnasium and Sendai City Museum.

After we are done with taking pictures, we headed back to Sendai Station to visit the Pokémon Center Tohoku. which is absolutely crowded with people browsing the Pokémon merchandise.
