Sendai Downtown – Because of the many trees in its public parks and spaces, Sendai has earned the nickname, “The City of Trees”.
The downtown area has an abundance of greenery, even inside the Ichibancho Arcade, which is a covered shopping area made up of
numerous boutiques, shops, restaurants, stalls and markets that sell a wide selection of goods, from cheap local products to expensive
tech gadgets and designer clothing.
Sendai Station – Sendai Station is Sendai’s major railway station. It services several Shinkansen, JR and subway lines. Featuring many
restaurants and specialty shops, it is a good place to shop for souvenirs or grab a quick bite of some Japanese food before you depart
for your next destination. It also has a walkway right by the exit that provides easy access to the large department stores, malls,
restaurants and other establishments nearby.
Also in the area is the Asaichi, which is a small produce market that offers a multitude of stalls of fresh flowers, plants and local foods.
Getting Around
Sendai has regular city buses and two subway lines. For tourists, the most convenient way to visit all the tourist attractions in the city is via
the Loople Sendai, which is a special tourist bus service that stops at all the major sightseeing sites. A one-day Loople pass can be purchased
at the Sendai bus station for 620 yen.
