You can study the exhibits at Zuihoden Temple, a museum with a storied past, during your travels to Sendai. While you're in the area, find time to visit its shops.
Aoba Castle is just one of the places to see in Sendai, so why not enjoy the other things to explore during your travels? Amble around the area's parks or visit its monuments.
You can catch an event at Sekisui Heim Super Arena, located 2 mi (3.2 km) from central Rifu. If you think Sekisui Heim Super Arena is cool, you also might like Miyagi Stadium and Sendai Stadium, both located nearby.

Hotel Grand Bach Sendai
10/10 Excellent
"Room was clean and modern. Helpful and polite staff. Like the fact that the hotel is located near some business complex, less crowded yet less than 8 minutes walk to the station. Will definitely come back on my next trip. "
"The JR Metropolitan Hotel is excellent – and an excellent value for the money. The hotel is extremely convenient – right at the Sendai JR Main Station – but I’ve never found it noisy from the trains or otherwise. The rooms are clean and the service is excellent. The breakfast is decent – good enough to go with the convenience. However, as you are right at the Main JR station which includes an “SPAL” shopping area with many food choices, those who are a little adventurous will find many good (and less expensive) options. In sum, an excellent hotel where I look forward to staying again."
"Overall, the property was perfect. I would consider Sotetsu Fresa Inn Sendai a more upscale Japanese business hotel. Room was clean and modern with a good selection of amenities. It's just a short walk from Sendai Station and conveniently located near many restaurants and shops. Unfortunately, breakfast is not complimentary but there are many breakfast options in the surrounding area. I found a cheap onigiri shop just around the corner from the hotel for just 150 yen each and the portions were generous, better than the ones at the convenience stores. There is also Asaichi Market, which I recommend taking a stroll through. "
