Explore Tohoku’s Hidden Gems with a

One great way to enjoy a trip in and the region is by traveling with a rental car. By renting a car at Sendai Station or Sendai Airport, you can freely explore spots that are inconvenient to reach by public transportation. For example, if you rent a car at Sendai Station and head along the Sanriku Expressway, you can enjoy an , an , as well as a journey filled with ocean views and seafood at places like (one of Japan's three scenic spots), , and . You can also take detours to experience the seasonal nature unique to the area, offering a travel experience that is possible with a rental car.

The Tohoku Expressway Pass, available exclusively for foreign visitors to Japan, allows you to use the expressways in the Tohoku area at a great price. For instance, you can drive unlimited miles on expressways for ¥8,500 for a regular car (¥6,800 for a kei car, which is small, lightweight, and fuel-efficient) for 4 days, or ¥17,000 for a regular car (¥13,600 for a kei car) for 8 days. You must apply for this pass at a rental car shop by presenting your passport and a valid driver's license that can be used in Japan, and renting a car and an ETC card.

Tohoku is known for having fewer cars and traffic signals compared to other areas in Japan, making it relatively easy to drive. However, be cautious when driving during snowy periods! Also, using your phone while driving is a violation of traffic laws. Let's follow traffic rules to ensure a safe and enjoyable trip.



#レンタカー で楽しむ旅
#仙台 や #東北 の旅を楽しむならレンタカーの旅もおすすめです。仙台駅や仙台空港でレンタカーを借りれば、公共交通機関が不便なスポットへも自由な旅ができます。例えば、仙台駅でレンタカーを借りて、三陸道を進むと、 #アウトレット、 #水族館、日本三景 #松島、石巻、気仙沼など海の景色や海鮮を楽しめる旅や、途中で寄り道して四季折々の自然に触れたりと、レンタカーならではの旅が待っているでしょう。
訪日外国人限定のTohoku Expressway Passならお得に東北エリアの高速道路が使えます。例えば、4日間で普通車¥8,500(軽自動車¥6,800)、8日間なら普通車¥17,000(軽自動車¥13,600)で高速道路が乗り放題となります。レンタカー店での申し込み必須で、パスポートと日本で利用可能な運転免許証をご提示いただき、車とETCカードのレンタルで利用が可能です。
東北は日本の中でも車や信号が少ないエリアのため、比較的運転しやすいと言われていますが、雪が降る時期の運転には気をつけましょう!また、携帯を見ながらの運転などは道路交通法違反となります。安全に、交通ルールを守って楽しい旅にしましょう!

Introducing Must-Try Winter ! In winter, we recommend trying sweets made from strawberries harvested in Sendai and Miyagi.
At the café , operated by a strawberry farm, popular items include shakes made from fully ripe strawberries that are frozen immediately after being picked, ensuring an extremely fresh taste, as well as strawberry daifuku. A daifuku is a small round mochi typically filled with a sweet filling, while strawberry daifuku contains just one strawberry inside. At the restaurant Symphony in the Hotel Sendai, you can enjoy dazzling sweets themed around the color Strawberry Red, made with Miyagi's "ultimate strawberries," available until March.

One of the must-try sweets when you visit Sendai is "Zunda Mochi." is made by mashing mixed with sugar and a pinch of salt, and it is commonly served on top of mochi. originally started as a confectionery for the Date clan and has since been cherished by the public as a long-established mochi shop since 1877. It features a special creamy zunda made from carefully peeled, top-grade edamame and freshly made mochi.

Additionally, at the long-established café featuring Japanese-style sweets, , when you order items like anmitsu (typically a mixture of red bean paste, boiled red beans, agar cubes, fruit pieces and syrup), you can choose zunda paste instead of the usual red bean paste. The retro interior has seats that overlook a small garden with a pond containing koi.

Throughout Sendai you can also find many warm zunda sweets perfect for winter as well, including zunda (a snack in the shape of a fish made from a batter similar to pancake mix and typically features a sweet filling) and zunda shiruko (typically a sweet red bean soup, but in this case a purely zunda soup).

Another shop featuring delicious Sendai sweets is , which opened a new location last year after relocating. It has been a traditional wagashi (Japanese sweets) shop serving the Date clan since its founding in 1675. The new location now features its first eat-in space, where "Aburi Yubeshi" is popular. is a sweet made from glutinous rice, flavored with soy sauce, and typically includes walnuts in the filling. Aburi, meaning slightly grilled, is an amazing way to enjoy Yubeshi. Be sure to enjoy the perfect balance of sticky, soft, and pleasantly chewy consistency in Yubeshi made with rice flour from Miyagi Prefecture.

Miyagi Adventure No.2 - City
The (a unique Pokémon-themed manhole cover) in Iwanuma City features an adorable riding on . Located in the heart of Miyagi Prefecture, Iwanuma is blessed with an abundant water supply and beautiful nature, thanks to the Abukuma River, which flows through the city. While in Iwanuma City, make sure to stop by the enchanting !

The Kanahebisui Shrine, meaning “money, snake, water,” is dedicated to the Kanahebi Great Deity and is known for its blessings that help businesses prosper, bring financial luck, ward off misfortune, and ensure maritime safety—making it perfect for this Year of the Snake! It is also a famous spot for viewing the that bloom in May, and the combination of snakes and wisteria attracts many fans of that popular anime.

Here are some ways to receive good fortune at the shrine:
Near the shrine's main hall, there are several stones with snake patterns. It is said that if you intuitively choose one and stroke the pattern with your hands or wallet, your financial luck will improve.
Additionally, there is a practice called " " (money washing), where it is believed that washing money with the shrine's water purifies it. You place the money in a colander, pour water over it three times with a ladle, and then put it in a special bag to take home. Let's avoid putting washed money back in our wallets or using it!

Also, be sure to pick up some of the limited edition and charms available this year for the Year of the Snake. We also recommend visiting the around Kanahebisui Shrine.

Located near the PokéLid is Tsusumiya, a long-established confectionery store chain based in Sendai's Iwanuma branch. It is popular for its Sendai specialties, such as zunda dango, dango with a walnut inside, and age-manju(fried buns with red bean paste inside).

These two trains run attached to each other, creating a unique sight with their different colors connected.

Highlights! January, which truly feels like winter, offers and is an excellent time to enjoy seasonal winter ingredients. On January 1st, at Mt. Yakurai in Kamimachi, people can hike to see the New Year's sunrise. The Hasunohane Cafe in Matsushima will also be open before dawn on January 1st, allowing visitors to see the first sunrise of the year.

Many people go to the sea or mountains to view the "Hatsu Hinode" (the first of the year) on January 1st. The first shrine visit of the year, known as "Hatsumode," is recommended to be done between January 1st and January 7th. It mainly involves visiting a shrine to pray for the new year and drawing omikuji (fortune slips). In Japan, this period is a time to pray for a year free of illness and misfortune. Some people also go on December 31st to hear the ringing of the temple bell and wait for the new year to arrive before heading to their first shrine visit.

The Sendai Hatsu-uri (first sales event of the year), which starts on January 2nd, is a traditional event in the former Sendai domain, rooted in business customs from the Edo period. Some regions offer more luxurious prizes compared to others. The Hatsu-uri varies by store, but you can find lucky bags known as " ," filled with a variety of products at great prices, as well as complimentary offerings such as "amazake," a traditional Japanese sweet drink made from fermented rice that has a thick and creamy texture.

The Festival is held annually on January 14, during which New Year's decorations such as pine ornaments, shimenawa (traditional ropes used in Shinto rituals), and charms are burned. The fire is referred to as "Gojinka," and it is believed that being near the fire can purify both body and mind and provide blessings for health and the safety of the household throughout the year. At places like Osaki Hachimangu Shrine, a ritual called "Hadaka-mairi" (literally meaning naked pilgrimage) takes place, where many visitors gather around this "Gojinka," making for a very lively event.

Celebrate the Season with January's Seasonal Winter Ingredients!

In addition to the high-quality, fatty kinka mackerel, traditional vegetables such as the sweet and soft Sendai bent leek, Sendai snow greens, Sendai napa cabbage, and Sendai seri (Japanese parsley, also known as water celery or water dropwort), loved throughout Japan for its crunchy texture, are treasured ingredients of January. It is also a delicious season to enjoy fresh, raw oysters!

In January, Sendai welcomes the full arrival of winter, and the winds blowing down from the mountains can be quite cold. To stay warm, we recommend protecting areas exposed to the wind, such as your neck and ears, with scarves, knit hats, and earmuffs. Additionally, wearing heat-retaining clothing like Heattech, leggings, or tights underneath your clothes is also a good way to stay warm. During winter, strong winds, poor visibility, and snow can lead to public transportation cancellations or delays, so it's a good idea to check the weather forecast in advance! Also, be cautious on icy roads by taking smaller steps and leaning slightly forward while walking to maintain balance.

1月のハイライト!本格的な冬を感じる1月には伝統的な行事があり、また、冬に旬を迎える食材もおすすめです。#1月1日 には #加美町 の薬莱山(やくらいさん)で初日の出登山が行われます。また、松島の【 #はすのはねカフェ】は1月1日だけは特別に夜明け前からオープンし、カフェから松島湾に登る初日の出を見ることできます。

1月1日に見る日の出は「 #初日の出」と呼ばれ、多くの人が海や山などを見に行きます。 #初詣 なら1月1日〜1月7日にいきましょう!初詣では主に神社に行き、新年の祈願をしたり、おみくじを引いたりします。日本では1年の無病息災を祈る期間で、12月31日から向かい、年が明けるのを待ち、初詣に行く方もいます。

1月2日から始まる #仙台初売り(せんだいはつうり)は旧仙台藩領内の伝統行事で江戸時代からの商習慣で、他地域より豪華な景品がつくお店もあります。初売りは店により異なりますが、さまざまな商品が詰められたお得な福袋が販売されたり、甘酒などのお振舞いがあります。

毎年1月14日に行われる #どんと祭 とは、正月の松飾りやしめ縄、お守りなどを焚き上げる祭事で、火は「御神火(ごじんか)」と呼ばれ、火にあたることで、心身が清められ、一年間無病息災・家内安全の加護を得るという言われています。大崎八幡宮などでは、この「御神火」を目指して参拝する「 #裸参り」が行われ、大勢の参拝客で賑わいます。

1月の旬の食材を紹介!
上質な脂ののった #金華サバ、甘くて、柔らかい #仙台曲がりネギ、仙台雪菜、 #仙台白菜 などの伝統野菜のほか、日本中に人気の #仙台せ りはシャキシャキした食感が特徴です。ほかにも #牡蠣 が美味しい季節ですので、ぜひ生牡蠣でどうぞ!

1月本格的な冬を迎える仙台は山から吹き下ろす風が冷たいので、寒さ対策としては、首や耳など風にあたる部分をマフラーやスカーフ、ニット帽、耳当てなどで保護することと、服の下にヒートテック、スパッツ、タイツなどを着るのがおすすめ!
冬は強風や視界不良、雪の影響で公共交通機関が欠航や運休になる可能性があるため、事前に天気予報を確認することをおすすめします!
また、凍った道は滑るので、歩幅を小さく、前重心で歩きましょう!
