2025 Sendai Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

✓ National Treasure: Osaki Hachiman Shrine A historic shrine representing Sendai, located in the Aoba Ward of Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture. The shrine features a main hall designated as a National Treasure, founded by Date Masamune, the first lord of the Sendai Domain. The deities enshrined here include Emperor Ojin, Emperor Chuai, Empress Jingu, and Amida Buddha. The shrine's architecture retains the rich style of the Azuchi-Momoyama period, characterized by lavish use of gold leaf and intricate carvings. The roof is built in the irimoya-zukuri style, with a front-facing chidori-hafu and a karahafu eave at the worship hall. Both the interior and exterior are coated in black lacquer and adorned with vividly colored carvings and decorations. Although it is a bit far from the city center, transportation is quite convenient. Visitors can reach the shrine from Sendai Station via sightseeing buses or regular city buses.

Full Meal Set: 1,900 yen Grilled Beef Tongue & Beef Harami Rice Bowl Set: 1,980 yen Beef Tongue Sausage: 750 yen After touring the sights of Sendai City, I found myself at the shopping street around 3 PM. Drawn in by the beef tongue bun displayed at the entrance of a restaurant, I decided to stop by for lunch. The restaurant has a traditional Japanese izakaya vibe. At this hour, there was only one table occupied. Besides regular seating, there’s also a counter where you can watch the kitchen prepare freshly made dishes. I ordered the weekday lunch special, which is made fresh upon order. The dishes arrived quickly, and to my surprise, the two meal sets and beef tongue sausage filled the entire table. The beef tongue sausage was quite flavorful. Pairing it with the fresh greens on the side helped balance the saltiness. The key is to dip it in the mustard seed sauce—it’s a perfect match. The thinly sliced grilled beef tongue was crispy and chewy, with a delightful texture. Eating it with rice enhanced its aroma. The highlight, however, was the grilled beef harami steak. It was far superior to the beef tongue. The steak was incredibly thick yet melted in your mouth—unbelievable! The seasoning leaned towards the heavier side, but the texture of the beef was so enjoyable that it paired perfectly with rice.

My mother has always loved cherry blossoms. To her, cherry blossoms are not just beautiful flowers, but also a symbol of vitality and hope. Whenever spring comes, the short but brilliant bloom of cherry blossoms always makes her feel the preciousness and infinite possibilities of life. This time, we decided to take our mother to Sendai to witness the beauty of the cherry blossoms in full bloom and let her immerse herself in that pink dream world. The moment we saw her standing under the cherry tree with such joy and the petals falling in the breeze, we all felt that the journey was worth it. 💖 🕒 Opening hours: 24 hours 💰 Ticket price: Free admission #2月好地方2025

#Traditional market #Street food #Seafood cuisine #Strawberry 🍡Sendai Morning Market is only five minutes away from the west exit of Sendai Station. You can see it by walking along the main road Minamimachi-dori. Although it is called a morning market, it is actually open from 8 am to 5 pm. There are fresh seafood and fruits and vegetables, as well as many delicious snacks. Under the hawking of vendors, experience the local flavor carefully! 🍡The first stop is "Hanagasa Dango Honpo", where the famous glutinous rice produced in Miyagi Prefecture is handmade. The strings of Japanese dumplings have a variety of flavors such as edamame, sesame and red beans, as well as various rice balls. Of course, you can't miss the various delicious edamame products when you come to Sendai! The dumplings were chewy and not sticky. One skewer was not very satisfying for each person, so we ordered a second round immediately. 🍡There are many seafood stalls in the market, just pick one that you like and start ordering. There are all kinds of fresh fish, shrimp and shellfish. The boss kindly asks whether you want them raw or simply grilled (the shrimps are only about 50% cooked when grilled, which only adds some aroma from the shrimp shells being roasted over high heat). Overall, the sashimi combination and oysters are also quite fresh, and the price is really affordable. If you don’t have enough, you can order more. 🍡The fruit and vegetable stalls are also a must-see part of Sendai Morning Market. Of course, you have to enjoy strawberries when you come to Japan in winter~ There are so many kinds of apples in Tohoku, and I want to try every one of them~ 💰Per capita consumption: 500~2000 Yen

If you're planning a winter trip to Japan, are you tired of Tokyo, Osaka, and Hokkaido? 😉 Why not check out Sendai in northeastern Japan and start a winter nature trip 🎿! It's a paradise for ski and hot spring lovers ♨️! Sendai has three treasures. If the celebrity version is "Lu Xun, Hanyu, and the One-Eyed Dragon (Date Masamune)," then the food version is "beef tongue 🥩, kamaboko (Japanese fish cake), and edamame paste." 👆🏻Preparation: ➊ Visa: Basic materials (copy of ID card and household registration, application form for Japan, original passport, 2-inch white background photo). ➋ Carry-on items: Passport 📄, e-visa, cash (just a little, many places support WeChat and Alipay), SIM card (buy in advance on Taobao), power bank (must bring!!), multi-function plug, etc. ➌ Transportation: Public transportation is the most convenient in Japan. Buy a transportation card in advance (you can buy it on WeChat: Apple-Suica; Android-JR Pass, deposit 500 yen 💴), Google Maps (navigation tool 🧭). 👆🏻Itinerary: DAY1 (Explore Lu Xun's Alma Mater): Sendai Umino-Mori Aquarium 🐟→ Rikyu Beef Tongue 🥩→ Tohoku University → Sendai Castle Ruins.

📍Address: 2F, Alaire Nakacho 2, 1-7-2, Chuo, Aoba-ku, Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture 🕰️Business hours 1️⃣: 11:30-14:30 🕰️Business hours 2️⃣: 17:00 - 22:30 💰Average consumption per person: 2,000 yen💴～ When it comes to Sendai, the must-eat dish is beef tongue! 🤤🤤Everyone must come and experience the grilled beef tongue, I highly recommend the thick cut beef tongue👅! ! ! ! 🌟Recommended set meal: Beef Tanyaki set meal (ABC set meal, 4 slices, 5 slices, 6 slices): what I ordered This is a set meal of 5 grilled beef tongues (Figure 5) Kakuni (side dish included in the set meal) (Picture 2) In addition, I ordered the tomato salad (Figure 3). I thought it was just ordinary tomatoes, but the sauce was amazing and refreshing. This dish often receives rave reviews on social media, such as "I went there for the beef tongue, but I was shocked by the tomato salad!" Please try it once. I also highly recommend the grilled beef tongue sashimi with chopped green onions, which is fragrant on the outside and tender on the inside, and tastes very sweet. The grilled thick-cut beef tongue is tender and chewy! (Generally, the beef tongue in BBQ restaurants is sliced ​​thinly~) The set meal comes with side dishes and beef soup. The side dishes and beef tongue are refreshing and not greasy when eaten together. At the end, I drank a bowl of beef soup. I think it really deserves to be a famous restaurant. It is really satisfying and worth the price! ! ! ! Well worth a visit 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
