There are lots of local specialty shops near Yubatake, and even the convenience stores have unique exteriors. When the lights come on at night, the atmosphere feels totally different.

Sendai Asaichi Morning Market
Conveniently located just a 5-minute walk from Sendai Station, Sendai Asaichi Morning Market primarily offers fresh local produce and seafood from Miyagi, along with a variety of places to eat. Visitors can experience the flavors of Miyagi through both shopping and dining.
Coming here early in the morning feels really local—you kind of feel like a resident. It’s perfect at breakfast time, and you can easily just grab a full meal here.

Sanrio Puroland
Guests can meet Sanrio characters like Hello Kitty and My Melody at this indoor theme park. Sanrio characters put on authentic performances like shows and parades that mix stories, dances, and songs together.
The souvenirs are insanely cute. The second you walk in, all logic goes out the window.
They’ve got merch for every character—Hello Kitty, Pompompurin, My Melody, you name it.
So many options, from tiny keychains to big plushies. It’s way too easy to go overboard. -

Chirihama Nagisa Driveway
One of the few sandy beaches in the world where vehicles can drive. The road stretches for approximately 5 miles along the water's edge and is open to cars, motorcycles, and bicycles. The fine, tightly compacted sand makes it possible to drive beside the waves, just like a scene from a movie. A drive while watching the sunset is especially memorable.
Driving right on the beach is seriously cool. It’s a pretty rare experience in Japan.
Cruising along with the ocean right next to you just puts you in a great mood.
Super relaxing. -
