Car Hire in Sendai - Mini guide to Sendai

There are many facets to the city of Sendai and with a car hire and a road map, you can see practically all of them. High tech, natural, academic, historical, cultural, political, and traditional, are all terms that describe Sendai. The city manages to combine its seemingly polar opposite facets into some of the most spectacular sites. You can get to Sendai by train, plane, bus, or car hire but only a car hire will do once you get there.

With a population of over 1 million, Sendai is at the socio-political center of Japan’s northeast region in Tohoku. As busy as this modern city seems to be, it is also known as the ‘City of Trees’ due to its harmony with nature. Sendai is surrounded by the Ohu Mountains, the Pacific Sea and its agricultural areas. And despite being technologically advanced, the heart of Sendai is lined with zelkova trees and cherry blossoms. Sendai has managed to assimilate various parks and a natural river throughout its industrial center. With a car hire, you can visit Mt. Zao, an hour outside of the city, which boasts a spectacular view of Okama, a natural crater lake at the summit of the ancient volcanoes. Or visit the scenic Matsushima Bay, which is 30 km from Sendai, known for its island setting and oyster farming. If you are looking more for traditional, cultural, or historical themes, you may want to visit the Sendai Castle, the Osaki Hachiman Shrine, or the Zuihoden Mausoleum.

Sendai’s downtown region boasts some of the most prestigious academic institutions in Japan. And the academic crowd loves to visit the post-war era streets of the city that can still be found blocks of the main streets. With old fashioned delis, markets, and vintage stores, it is like being transported in time. No matter what aspect of Sendai interests you, a car hire will get you there.
