We didn't spend much time in Sendai and our stop for the night here was as a base for our trip to Matsushima Bay earlier in the day. We did however had fun sampling fishcakes at the food area in the station. You can get full just by sampling free food there!
Of course, if you come to this area and you don' t have any food restrictions like us, you should sample their gyutan - that's grilled cow's tongue. It's the region specialty so if you can, don't miss the opportunity to try it.
We only had a few hours sightseeing in the evening so we didn't venture far from Sendai Station. Our hotel for the night was located just a few minutes away from the station too, thus the reason of not needing to stray too far.
Sendai Station at 6.25pm.
Scores of taxis waiting for passengers at the station. It's interesting for me to note that after I took this photo, and googling about more info of Sendai, I found photos of this same spot for photos mentioning Sendai.
The city at night. We went to the downtown area but by 9.00pm, the area's shops are closing/closed, and only watering holes and restaurants were open.
I sure look forward to another visit to Sendai in the future because our short visit there was simply not enough!
