Where is Sendai?
Sendai is located in Miyagi, a prefecture of the Tohoku region which is part of Honshu, one of Japan's four main islands. Miyagi is bordered by the prefectures of Yamagata and Akita to the west, Fukushima to the south and Iwate to the north. Thanks to the influence of the Pacific Ocean, Sendai enjoys slightly milder weather than the prefectures to the north and west. Situated about 350km north of Tokyo, it takes only 1hr and 36min by bullet train (Tohoku line); alternatively there is an International Airport, with 6 international and numerous domestic routes (see map below). The Tohoku expressway has two interchanges close to Sendai, one to the north and one to the south so access by car is also convenient.
