Workation in Sendai: the essentials
Zelkova trees shade the main avenues of Sendai, which the warlord Date Masamune founded in 1600 and which now has about 1.1 million people, the most in the Tohoku region. Tohoku University keeps the centre young, Kokubuncho is the place to eat grilled beef tongue and stay out, and coworking spaces sit around the station. In August the Tanabata festival hangs huge paper streamers through the arcades, and December brings a big light festival along the avenues. Matsushima Bay and the Yamadera cliff temple are easy day trips, Tokyo is about 90 minutes by Shinkansen and Sendai Airport about 15 km out. The 2011 tsunami devastated the city's coastal wards but did not reach the centre, several kilometres inland.
