About Sendai
Sendai, the largest city in Japan’s Tohoku region, combines natural beauty, academic excellence and a strong spirit of resilience. Known as Japan’s “Green City” for its tree-lined avenues, it was founded in the 17th century by the samurai lord Date Masamune, whose crescent moon crest remains a symbol of the city.
Today, Sendai is home to leading institutions such as Tohoku University and is internationally recognised for its leadership in resilience and disaster risk reduction. Blending historic heritage with forward-looking innovation, the city offers vibrant shopping streets, renowned local cuisine and easy access to stunning coastal and mountain landscapes.
Welcoming international events and conferences, Sendai embodies renewal, sustainability and resilient innovation in the heart of northern Japan.
