Sendai is one of my favorite city while visited Japan, it's a big city but not so crowded like you will find in Tokyo and believe me there are many good foods here with nice value and great atmosphere.
As a capital city of Miyagi prefecture, Sendai have a lot of entertainment venues, five years ago when I live in Japan (Tokyo) I visited this city very often just to have a good foods and hangout with my friends, to get here from Tokyo mostly we use Sinkansen wich mean fast train, expensive but fast, I think there are several cheapest ways to get here from Tokyo, we just looking for the easy and fast way,..
In Miyagi prefecture we can find a lot of tourism object from beach to mountain, from night life to sacred temple, it's depend on your interest., Me?,.. I'm coming for a good foods and beverages lol,.
A few years ago earthquake and tsunami in Miyagi was striking this area, the tsunami devastated the city's coastal outskirts but did not cause major damage in the city center. Virtually all tourist spots reopened within a few months of the earthquake. I was visited Sendai in April 2011, after the earthquake happened in March 2011, I saw the desperation of some of the families who lost family members over the disaster. But on my last visit last month, the city are back to normal even more better.
