The SENDAI Tourist Information Desk provides sightseeing assistance, runs a tax-free refund counter, and helps visitors experience local culture and meet people in Miyagi. Every month they offer special activities including cooking meetups, wagashi– (traditional Japanese sweets) making workshops, sake appreciation workshops, tours of the city led by residents, and more. Each activity is an opportunity to get to know friendly Sendai locals, some of whom volunteer as English-speaking interpreter guides. Stop in and get to know Sendai on a deeper level.
