There are a few on-campus dining places near the workshop venue. Please take a look at this map. Please be advised that there are only limited options for vegetarians and people with food restrictions. If you have food restrictions, we recommend University cafeterias (Ri-Yaku Shokudo and Midori Shokudo) and convenience stores. You can use the tables in front of the workshop hall for lunch.
The on-campus cafeterias and restaurants are all *cash only* except the convenience stores, so please bring some cash. Typically one lunch costs up to 1,000 JPY at these places. ATM is available in 7-11.
Sendai is the capital of Miyagi prefecture, and is about 1.5 hour by Shinkansen from Tokyo. To Sendai, you can either fly into Tokyo (Haneda or Narita) and take Shinkansen, or directly fly into Sendai.
1. Take Keihin Kyuko (Keikyu) train to Shinagawa
2. Change to JR Yamanote (light green) line to Tokyo
3. Take Tohoku Shinkansen (green) to Sendai
1. Take Keisei Skyliner to Ueno (you need an express ticket)
2. Take Tohoku Shinkansen (green) to Sendai
1. Take Sendai Airport Access Line to Sendai
You can buy Shinkansen tickets from ticket vending machines at Tokyo or Ueno Station. The fastest Shinkansen services (Hayabusa and Komachi) are all reserved, and you need a reserved-seat ticket. Slower service (Yamabiko) has non-reserved seats.
For local transportations in both Tokyo and Sendai areas, we recommend to purchase a prepaid IC card ("Suica", "ICOCA" or "PASMO"). You can buy one from ticket vending machines at train stations. There are special SUICA and PASMO for foreign travelers.
There is no hotel near the workshop venue, but it is only 10 minutes from Sendai Station. We recommend you to book a hotel near Sendai or Aobadori-Ichibancho station of the Subway Tozai Line (East-west, blue). Sendai is a reasonably big city and you can find many hotels at reasonable prices using web services.
The afternoon of Day 3 (March 20th, Wednesday) is free afternoon. Here are some suggestions for half-day trip near Sendai if you want to explore the area.
If you are interested in history of this area, we recommend you to take Loople Sendai Bus. You can take it from Aobayama or Sendai Station. Notable places to visit are Aoba Castle Site, Osaki-Hachimangu Shrine (national treasure) and Zuihoden, which were built by Masamune Date who was the Daimyo (ruler) of this area in the Edo era.
Matsushima Bay is said to be one of the three most scenic places in Japan, and you can take sight-seeing cruise. You can walk around the touristic coast area, including Zuiganji Temple (national treasure).
Yamadera (officially known as Risshakuji) means "mountain temple" in Japanese, and it is a beautiful temple literally in a mountain. It is a nice hike, about 30-40 minutes to climb.
Zao Fox Village is a popular destination among tourists from abroad. You can meet foxes (and other animals) freely walking around in a large open space.
If you love whisky, you may want to visit Miyagikyo Distillery. You can take a tour including whisky tasting (reservation is required).
Sakunami Onsen is a hot spring area, and you can visit hot springs in some hotels without staying overnight.
Here are indoor activities in the Sendai area.
