Planning your cheap holiday to Sendai, but unsure of where to go or what to see? Let the experts at lowcostholidays.com help. We recommend...

• No holiday to Sendai is complete without a visit to the Aoba Castle remains. Built in 1600 by the powerful feudal lord Date Masamune, the castle has endured various attacks over the years including a great fire in 1882 and the carpet bombing of 1945. It’s well worth visiting for its historic significance and there’s a fascinating museum.
• If you’re looking for a flavour of modern Japanese life, head to downtown Sendai. The abundance of greenery and wide streets is one of the reasons why it’s known as “the city of tress” and there are a plethora of open spaces, parks, shopping malls and cafes to explore.
• For more serene activity, visit the Osaki Hachimangu shrine, family shrine of the Date clan. Designed in the ornate style of the Momoyama period, it’s a stunning example of Japanese architecture combining intricate woodwork, vivid colours, black lacquer and gold leaf.
