Sendai, the capital of Miyagi Prefecture, is known as the "City of Trees," where modern buildings and lush greenery harmonize perfectly, making it the ideal base for sightseeing in the Tohoku region. The city is dotted with historical sites related to Date Masamune, the warring states warlord who laid its foundation. At Zuihoden, a lavishly decorated mausoleum, and the Sendai Castle Ruins, which offer a panoramic view of the city, you can experience firsthand the aesthetic sense of the samurai and the depth of their history. Additionally, close to the city center, you can find famous hot springs such as Akiu Onsen and Sakunami Onsen, where you can heal your travel fatigue surrounded by nature. The unique food culture, featuring specialties like thick-cut "Gyutan" (grilled beef tongue) and the vibrant green "Zunda-mochi" (edamame paste rice cakes), is also a major draw. With grand events throughout the seasons, such as the "Sendai Tanabata Festival" in August and the "SENDAI Pageant of Starlight" in winter, Sendai is a captivating city where you can enjoy history, nature, and gourmet food all at once.
