There are many Hawaiian dishes on the menu. The hamburgers are highly recommended. The Hawaiian restaurant "Kauai Diner" in Aeon Mall is delicious. It's a great day to have a meal after enjoying shopping. #Aeon Mall Natori #Shopping Mall #Aeon Mall #Hawaiian Restaurant

Sendai Airport in Miyagi. There are direct flights between Fukuoka and Sendai. It takes about an hour and 40 minutes to get there, which may sound strange, but it's faster than Tokyo. This airport was affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake, but has been beautifully restored. Autumn leaves can be seen in many places around the airport. #SendaiTourism #AutumnLeafViewing

#0YenTravel2025Autumn Sendai Airport is relatively empty at all times, making check-in a breeze. I had some extra time, so I had some soba noodles at Soba Restaurant Marumatsu. Founded in 1910, they've been preserving the same flavor for over 100 years. Their homemade soba noodles and authentic broth have maintained the same delicious flavor. In addition to soba noodles, they also offer a wide variety of local Sendai dishes, such as beef tongue set meals. They also offer a selection of soba restaurant-quality snacks to go with your drinks. They open early at 6:30 AM. I ordered their signature homemade soba noodles, a freshly fried shrimp tempura mini bowl set (1,200 yen), and a maitake mushroom tempura and soba set (1,000 yen). The portions of soba noodles were so large I didn't have room for rice. It's the perfect place for a quick meal before heading home. #Sendai

Natori Library is just a 30-second walk from Natori Station. The attached cafe opens earlier than the library, at 7:30am (the library opens from 9am). You can read a borrowed book with a cup of coffee. It seems like it would be more relaxing to sit here, especially when the chairs and tables inside the library are full. What's great is the extensive children's section. There's a wooden house that kids will love, a space where you can take your shoes off and read books, and storytimes. It's also a great place to drop in while waiting for a train. What I often do is look for my next destination. I'll look at the Chikyu no Arukikata and think about my next trip. There is also parking (paid and free), so it's a place I would definitely recommend spending some time relaxing. #0YenTravel2025Autumn

As a local, I'm excited about the increasing number of international flights from Sendai Airport, but when I get back, I immediately crave Japanese food. This time I flew to Kaohsiung on Tigerair, and since I didn't order an in-flight meal, I arrived at 6pm and was starving. In search of Japanese food, I headed to the restaurant area on the third floor of Sendai Airport. As I went up the escalator, I saw Soba Dokoro Marumatsu immediately to the right. This long-established restaurant also has a branch at Sendai Station. A set of soba noodles topped with plenty of Sanriku wakame seaweed and negitoro donburi (green onion and fatty tuna rice bowl) was a welcome relief from travel fatigue. The salty broth was also great. It's reasonably priced, and they also offer local dishes like beef tongue, which is a great thing. They even had a point-and-click conversation book for international customers. They accept various cards and cashless payments, and they're open from 6:30am, so it's very convenient! If you're ever in Sendai, be sure to try their delicious soba. #0 Yen Travel 2025 Autumn #Sendai Airport Gourmet #Sendai Airport #Soba

Sendai Daikannon (仙台大観音) is a suburban attraction located in Sendai City. It is a 100-meter-tall statue of Kannon, making it one of the tallest Kannon statues in the world. It belongs to the Daikanmitsuji Temple (大観密寺) and is officially named "Tendō Byakue Daikannon." Initially, one might think the Daikannon can only be viewed from the outside, but it actually has 12 floors inside that are open for visitors. These floors house 108 Buddha statues, making it a unique Buddhist attraction! To visit Sendai Daikannon, you need to take a bus from the bus stops outside Sendai Station. Buses depart from platforms 18 and 19, with signs indicating which buses go to Sendai Daikannon. You can take buses numbered 810, 910, X910, 825, or 815. The journey takes approximately 40 minutes. The bus stop for Sendai Daikannon is right by the roadside. Once you arrive, you will quickly spot the towering Daikannon statue. Nearby is the Sendai Hills Hotel (仙台ヒルズホテル). While on the bus, you can already see the Daikannon from a distance. The Daikannon is 12 stories tall and open for visitors to explore. There is an admission fee for entry. Visitors can use either the stairs or the elevator, though the elevator only stops at the 6th, 10th, and 12th floors.

On this trip to Sendai, I visited five beef tongue restaurants. While each had its own unique characteristics, after comparing them, I personally love #たんやり善治郎Minamimachidori branch. The restaurant's high quality is immediately apparent upon entering: the restrained Japanese atmosphere, the sturdy tables and chairs, the detailed menu, and the satisfying service are unmatched by the others. The beef tongue was also perfect for me: thick, tender yet crispy, with a charcoal aroma but not too salty. The prices were the most affordable of the three, and it's no wonder there's always a long line. I don't know how the other branches perform, but I'm sure I'll be back to #たんや善治郎Minamimachidori branch! Restaurant Name #たんや善治郎Minamimachidori branch Hours 11:30 AM - 9:30 PM

Great place to visit near Sendai Airport! You must visit the food treasure house and go to the Hong Kong morning market Around Sendai Airport, where fresh seafood, meat, ramen and other delicacies are gathered, is Nato City, Miyagi Prefecture, with more than 50 shops where you can sweep the streets, experience seafood charcoal grilling and bidding! Seafood bought on site can be tasted on the spot with charcoal grill, which is especially delicious! You can buy seafood, fruits and vegetables, etc. by bidding, which are generally cheaper than the market price. I bought big crabs! At the attached Maple Pavilion, you can even eat seafood bowl! *Shanghai Hong Kong Morning Market Opening Hours: 6am to 13am every Sunday and public holiday. (Usually stores start closing around 12pm! Take advantage of the time) *Bid is Sunday only. Access: About 10 minutes by car from Sendai Airport

If you don't try beef tongue when you visit Sendai, you haven't really been there. But did you know? There's actually a grilled beef tongue shop inside Sendai Airport—and it's the only one! It's Jinnaka Sendai Airport Branch 🐮🔥 I had low expectations for airport restaurants, thinking they were just for tourists. But I ordered their "Beef Tongue Set Meal," and once I took a bite, I immediately shut up. Absolutely amazing! You get to enjoy three different cuts of beef tongue at once: tender, chewy, and thick. The freshly grilled flavor is incredibly fragrant, rivaling those restaurants in the city where lines often last an hour! 📍 Located on the first floor of Sendai Airport. Last chance to enjoy beef tongue before takeoff.

We were able to try zunda sweets at the airport! They also have one at Sendai Station. If you miss them in the city, this is your last chance to eat them! We bought a zunda shake and a zunda cream bun! The zunda shake was a bit of a hit with the kids (they don't like edamame), but the cream bun was gone in a flash...they were fighting, arguing, and fighting over it (lol). The cream was incredibly delicious! They were all eaten up in no time, so I think it might have been fine for each kid to have just one!!

🏯【Sendai Guide】Enjoy history, gourmet food, and nature!

You can also enjoy exhibits from the Warring States period at the museum inside the castle ruins. 📍Zuihoden The mausoleum of Date Masamune. It features beautiful carvings and lacquered architecture, and is a valuable cultural asset. The grounds are surrounded by trees, creating a quiet atmosphere, allowing you to take a leisurely stroll. 📍Jozenji-dori (Keyaki-namiki) A tree-lined street with beautiful scenery in every season.

"Chez Nous" is a French restaurant in Shiogama with a history of 45 years, specializing in dishes made with Miyagi's local ingredients, particularly the seafood from Shiogama Port. The meal begins with three French countryside-style appetizers, offering a delightful introduction to the flavors. The crab roe-filled triangular pastry is especially noteworthy. Next comes the Sanriku seafood salad, featuring a bounty of fresh catches from Miyagi's Sanriku coastline—fish, shrimp, shellfish, abalone, squid, and octopus. The freshness is unparalleled, and the Shiogama-grown vegetables, enhanced with orange, egg yolk, and vinaigrette, create a feast for both the eyes and the palate. Following this is the white wine-steamed abalone and pan-seared scallops, served with a sauce made from shellfish broth and turnip leaves. The layered sweetness and delicate flavors are extraordinary. The pan-seared tilefish with red onion sauce surprises with its crispy skin and the unique taste of the sauce, showcasing the versatility of red onions. The ginger sorbet is intriguing, combining ginger's aroma with floral notes, and its refreshing sweetness makes it disappear in an instant. The Sendai filet mignon with Madeira red wine sauce is lightly seared to perfection, offering a tender and juicy bite. While the foie gras melts in the mouth, it feels slightly less creamy than expected. The strawberry and sake lees sorbet with sauce is so delicious it makes you want to cheer. The subsequent desserts, both large and small, maintain a high standard. Restaurant Name: Chez Nous Location: 7-2 Kaigan-dori, Shiogama City, Miyagi Prefecture Business Hours: 11:30 AM - 8:30 PM

Japan's 33rd Michelin-rated ramen bowl, Sendai Dashiro! The broth is a double soup base. I ordered the flying fish niboshi/soy sauce flavor, which has a rich fishy aroma and a light soy sauce taste—perfect for finishing the entire bowl. The thin straight noodles have a nice wheat fragrance and a satisfying chewiness. The char siu (extra portion) includes three types, two slices each, prepared in a modern style. One of my companions tried the shrimp broth with seaweed salt, while another opted for the vegetable white broth. This is considered one of Sendai's more modern ramen representatives. Shop Name: Dashiro - DASHIRO Location: Sendai Minamimachi Street Main Store: TK Building 1F, 2-2-11 Ichibancho, Aoba Ward, Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture Business Hours: 11:00 AM - 10:00 PM

In addition to taking the Shinkansen from Tokyo to Sendai, Greater Bay Area Airlines recently launched a new route, flying directly to Sendai, Japan, which takes about 4 hours to arrive. It is then possible to take a 45-minute subway ride out of the city, which is very convenient. Since the airport is not big and there are not many restaurants or souvenir shops, I had more time to take photos. I personally think there are several places in the airport worth checking in: 1. Subway platform 2. Overpass connects to subway station 3. The second floor seating area, looking out to the floor-to-ceiling windows #TokyoTrafficStrategy #SendaiStrategy #SendaiTravel #NewYearDestinations2025 #SendaiTourism #SendaiStation

I fly from Bangkok, Thailand to Sendai, Japan with EVE airlines. This route has to transit in Taipei, Taiwan around 2-3 hours.

The flight has entertainment and new movies also flight attendants are very helpful and give the pillow and blanket per request. #evaair #sendai #taipei

#FebruaryDestinations2025 #TohokuJapan #Miyagi #Sendai Sendai Airport is the gateway to northeastern Japan, with direct flights to Beijing/Dalian, Taipei and Hong Kong. Although taking the Shinkansen from Tokyo to Sendai is also fast, it is more expensive. The entry and exit of Sendai Airport is the fastest among all the airports in Japan (it may be slower if two international flights arrive at the same time), and there is a railway directly to the city center, with a train every 20 minutes and a 25-27 minute drive. Flying directly to Sendai is a great experience.

Value the Hotel Sendai Natori is a hotel where the rooms are lined up like containers from Natori, Miyagi Prefecture, stretching out vertically and horizontally. Each container is a room. The containers are stacked two-tiered on each side, and five rows continue to the back, and the same view unfolds, but each corridor is divided into colorful colors such as blue, pink, and green, and the rooms are clearly divided. The inside of the room has the atmosphere of a simple business hotel room. The containers are well-made, and there was no noise from the other rooms. The bed, air conditioner, TV, desk, and refrigerator are standard equipment. The only thing to note is that the unit bath does not have a washlet. Breakfast includes a free buffet for guests. Today's menu is also labeled with allergy information. It's not flashy, but it's simple and includes Sendai's specialty, sasakamaboko. There are three laundry corners in each container color on the second floor corridor. There is also complimentary coffee near the front desk in the evenings, evenings, and mornings. There is also a microwave oven. There are supermarkets, restaurants, Don Quijote, etc. in the area, so it is easy to bring your own food and drink at this hotel!

I always stop by the airport restaurant Trageon Galley while waiting at Sendai Airport. Here you can enjoy specialty dishes and alcohol from the six Tohoku prefectures✨ On this day, I enjoyed Tohoku craft beer and an assortment of appetizers from lunchtime♪ The beer I chose was "Munich" from Yamagata. It had a rich caramel-like flavor and a strong taste that was delicious! All of the appetizers were carefully made and went perfectly with the beer. This is a recommended spot to enjoy Tohoku gourmet food while basking in the afterglow of your trip at the airport! #0yentravelNovember#Sendaiairport #Miyagitourism #craftbeer
