Living in Sendai

Tohoku's biggest transfer hub. Tokyo is around 1 hour 30 minutes by Shinkansen, and anywhere in the city is reachable without transferring.

Tohoku's biggest transfer hub, where the Tohoku Shinkansen, several conventional lines and both subway lines all come together. The west exit connects directly to the shopping streets by a two-level pedestrian deck, and the east side is seeing more new buildings through redevelopment. Most of what daily life needs is within the station's radius, so you can get by without a car. As the center, though, rents are among the highest in the city.
