Journeys in Japan

Season 17 Episode 21: Miyagi: A Walk Through Sendai, City of History and Style

Sendai, the largest city in the Tohoku region of northeastern Japan, was founded some 400 years ago by the legendary feudal warlord Date Masamune. Over the centuries, it has evolved — first as a vibrant castle town with prosperous merchants, later opening up to the West and now a modern, forward-looking city that reflects contemporary society. On this edition of Journeys in Japan, we explore Sendai's development through its iconic architecture, distinctive aesthetic and the stylish sensibility that still defines the city to this day.
