Which transportation is the best way to get to Sendai?
This time will give you some recommendations based an assumption that you are coming from Tokyo!
 

First of all, the distance from Tokyo Station to Sendai Station is about 350km.
There are various types of main transportations to go to Sendai from Tokyo, such as shinkansen / bullet trains, buses, airplanes, etc., each one of them has its own advantages.
 

Tohoku Shinkansen

This is probably the most commonly used method of transportation to go to the Tohoku area.
It takes about 1 hour and 35 minutes, so fast, isn’t it?!
The ticket costs around 10.000 yen, but if you book early, you may get the discounted price starts from 7.000 yen, so please check the JR homepage early after you decided you would go on a trip to Sendai!
 

JR Lines

It is also possible to travel on conventional Japan Railway Line (JR Line)!
If you go from Tokyo Station to Kuroiso Station on the JR Utsunomiya Line, you can connect to the Tohoku Main Line.
However, it takes about 7 to 8 hours, so we think there are only few people who use it.
But, by using the free pass tickets sold by JR, you can use this transportation method very cheaply!
Different kinds of free pass tickets being sold depending on the season, but they are usually valid for 2 to 7 days continuously.
If you divide the price of the ticket by the number of days, it is actually very cheap!

These days, highway buses are also very popular, even among the foreign tourists.
The best advantage of riding an express bus is its affordable price.
You might be surprised that cheap ones start at around 2,000 yen!
It takes about 5 to 6 hours to go from Tokyo to Sendai, but unlike conventional trains, night buses are also available, so you can take a bus right after work and enjoy sightseeing in the next morning!

The price might change depending on the season, and it is recommended to take an express bus especially on weekdays because the tickets are likely going to be cheaper.
 

Airplane

Sendai Airport is located about 30 minutes away from Sendai Station.
You can reach Sendai Airport from Tokyo in about an hour, it is the fastest transportation method so far!
But, it takes around 30 minutes by train from Sendai Airport to Sendai Station, so it may not be so different from the total time if you take the Shinkansen, but it may be very convenient depending on the destination that you’re going ♪
