Traveling to Sendai, Japan
Just an hour and a half ride from Tokyo on the Japan’s Shinkansen (the bullet train) you will find the city of Sendai.
It is the capital and largest city of that prefecture, and it is the largest city in Japan's Tohoku Region. As of 2008, the city had a total population of over one million spread over an area of 304 square miles (788 sq km)
When you visit Sendai you will be treated to attractions such as observation towers, museums and galleries, but the city also has more traditional places to visit such as mausoleums of famous families and the ruins of its ancient castle.
Another reason to come to Sendai is that while it is representative of a modern Japanese town, it is also not firmly on the tourist trail which means that you will get an authentic look at life in Japan without being bombarded with overly touristy things to do.
