Green City Sendai: Morning hike & market brunch

Start your day surrounded by nature, minutes from the city centre!

Highlights

Sendai City may be the largest metropolis in the Tohoku region and home to all of the conveniences of a big city, but just a short walk from the city centre and you’ll find yourself surrounded by parks, rivers, forests and mountains that seem more likely to be inhabited by Totoro or Princess Mononoke, than one million people!

 

Get your day of sight-seeing off to an active start with a light hiking course through the forests of Mt. Aobayama, just a 10 min subway ride from Sendai Station. 

 

Your guide will take you through lush forests of beech trees and along mountain streams as you listen to the sounds of local wildlife (and maybe even meet some along the way)! 

 

Once you’ve worked up an appetite, head back into the city centre to enjoy a brunch of fresh seafood or ramen at ‘Sendai’s Kitchen’ the Asaichi morning market, or (if you’re more of a caffeine and fry-up type) one of your guide’s favourite local cafes!
