Sendai Dalam Sejarah


Sendai: 1000 Generations

Sendai is the largest city in the Tōhoku (northeast) region, and was all but erased from the maps during the Allied bombing of WWII. It has since been rebuilt, with wide avenues and a relaxed atmosphere. It doesn't boast any historical sights (the most famous sight of the city is the railway station), but it's a pleasant city to stay between excursions to nearby attractions such as Matsushima and Chuson-ji. The nameSendai means 1000 generations, which was how long feudal lord Date Masamune expected his clan to rule.
