Day Five: Sendai, Japan

Because I will spend the rest of my time in Sendai at the conference, I used today to explore the city.

Sendai is a city that was demolished by Allied bombing during WWII and then rebuilt. This has left few cultural sights left. It seems that unless you have the time and transportation methods to get outside the city limits, the major centres of activity are the departments stores, banks and hotels that line the streets of Aoba-dori, Chuo-dori, and Ichibancho-dori.

I visited these shopping areas, Sendai Morning Market Place, and the small stores and galleries of some of the local artists.
