Sendai is the capital of Miyagi Prefecture and the largest city in the northeast of Japan (about 1.1 million inhabitants). In Sendai you could combine leasure and well-preserved historical sites / architectural treasures.

Sendai is a green city, surrounded by mountains. The Hirose River flows through the center, separating the busy downtown from the old castle site.

Sendai is called ‘the city of trees” since major streets are lined with towering green trees which change to a brilliant golden hue in autumn and are magnificently illuminated in winter.

Very well organised, affordable and accessible public transports should allow you to enjoy moving in the city and surburb Sendai.

Sendai is easily reachable from Tokyo (Tokyo station or Ueno station) by Shinkansen (JR East) in about 1 hour and a half. For non Japanese residents, JR Pass (national or regional for Tohoku) could be purchased to get unlimited travels with JR company (and some partners).
