Sendai travel guides

27 articles

Sendai is Tohoku's largest city — founded by the one-eyed samurai lord Date Masamune, whose lavish Zuihoden mausoleum still anchors its sights. The city is famous for gyutan (grilled beef tongue), the Tanabata festival each August, and easy side trips to the pine-covered islands of Matsushima Bay. These guides cover Sendai's sights, food, and its role as the gateway to Tohoku.
