A tanabata star festival that fills the streets with thousands of handmade paper streamers every summer, a feudal-era castle ruin with sweeping views over the plain, and a gateway feel to the rugged Sanriku coast further north.
The best time to visit Sendai is Apr–Aug, when typical daytime highs reach about 25°C (77°F).
