From Sendai Station you'll be looking at a thirteen minute taxi ride, twenty minute bus ride, or as I did, a thirty to forty minute walk. I do the walk, because it's the things that you might see along the way, what you might miss out on, if you take a cab or bus. Just my personal preference. Part way on your adventure upwards, you'll see a temple off to the left, to the right is a walking path and bathrooms. Go in through the gates of this temple. It's small, but it's really nice. (free) Now for Zuihoden Temple. I believe the entrance fee was around $12. Just be ready for a walk up a good incline. But the scenery while walking up is just amazing. When you get to the steps to start your incline, there is a box with walking sticks, to help with your accent. As you're walking upwards, you'll see huge tall trees that go up forever, on either side of the path/ stairs. There are a lot of places to walk around, with different shrines and temples to see. It is a very calming feeling, when you walk around here. You can also grab a drink at the vending machine, in the parking lot before you go into the grounds, or on your way back down. If you don't mind a bit of walking, I don't think you'll be disappointed. It was simply beautiful to see.
