What you can expect

The tour begins with a meetup at Sendai Station at 12:00 P.M. Guests should wait inside the station, in front of the Morinosanka stained glass window located next to the west exit doors. Your guide will greet you there. Look for the SNOW MONKEY RESORTS sign.
Our first destination is the Sendai Asaichi, or Morning Market. Take in the busy open-air market that boasts high quality fresh produce and seafood. You'll get to try raw or grilled oysters here.
At our next stop we will enjoy a delectable gyūtan (beef tongue) meal.
Once we finish our meal we will head to Abe Kamabokoten where you can grill your own bamboo leaf shaped fishcake.
You will then get to visit a temple hidden in the midst of the busy shopping center of Sendai.
Our next stop will be a popular food souvenir shop where guests will have the option to purchase dessert to eat then should they desire to, or simply shop for food souvenirs to take with them to their next destination in Japan.
We will head to the retro alleyways of Sendai, or yokocho, and walk through them and learn their history. Your guide can even give you some recommendations of izakaya for your evening’s festivities!
We’ll finish our afternoon tour with some regional sake tasting located conveniently in the shopping center near the station. Guests can try up to 3 different sake should they desire.
The tour concludes at Sendai Station, where the guide will say their goodbyes. *We cannot guarantee the end time as crowding could cause delays. For guests booking onward tickets to other destinations, we recommend doing so for times of 15:30 or later.
