About this guide

SendaiTours.com is an independent guide to tours in and from Sendai, Japan: Matsushima, Yamadera, Zao, Ginzan Onsen, the Nikka distillery and the city itself. We are not a tour operator, a travel agency, a temple, the Sendai tourism office or Viator, and the site name describes what we write about rather than a business. For official tourist information, see SenTabi, Sendai's tourism site.

Facts here are checked against the operators' own listings on Viator (including recent guest reviews), official temple, cruise and railway pages and other published sources. Prices, fares and seasons change; when a listing and this page disagree, the listing at checkout wins.

The site is funded by affiliate commissions: when you book through a Viator link here, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. That never changes what we recommend, including telling you when the train and a 500 yen ticket do the job. Details on the affiliate disclosure page.
