The central downtown area of Sendai City, the largest city in Tohoku, boasts numerous shopping and dining establishments, so visitors can have fun as they eat, walk, and shop as they explore the city. 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.
