About Tsuchitoi
What are the main landmarks in Tsuchitoi?
The Tohoku Gakuin University Museum takes its name from the university behind it. Museum Zuihoden is the second name recorded here, and between them the two account for everything Tsuchitoi contributes to the landmark map of Sendai. A third name never arrives.
Both sit inside a district that otherwise runs to ordinary streets, which keeps a visit here compact and easily folded into a longer day across Miyagi-ken.
What is the history of Tsuchitoi?
No year opens Tsuchitoi's entry. In place of a chronicle it has a pair of museums, the Tohoku Gakuin University Museum and Museum Zuihoden, whose holdings stand in for the paperwork a small quarter of Sendai never accumulated. One of the two is a university museum.
Dates that matter to Tsuchitoi belong to Sendai and to Miyagi-ken, and the district's own entry in the record begins and ends with those two names.
