In particular, Sendai's New Year's sales campaign starting on January 2 is a time of big competitive sales with eye-catching prices that only happens once a year. The number of tax-free stores, stores with multilingual menus, and free Wi-Fi hotspots are on the rise in shopping areas, so visitors can have a pleasant sightseeing experience.
