<\/div><\/div>A former feudal city<\/h3>\n\nThe largest city in the\u00a0T\u014dhoku<\/strong>\u00a0region, Sendai is a sprawling but pleasant place, with broad tree-lined avenues and a lively downtown district. The city\u2019s\u00a0castle ruins<\/strong>\u00a0and associated\u00a0history museum<\/strong>, and the ornate\u00a0mausoleum<\/strong>\u00a0of its revered founder, the daimy\u014d Date Masamune, are worth a brief visit.<\/p>\nThough central\u00a0Sendai<\/strong>\u00a0had to be rebuilt after World War II, its streets follow the original grid pattern laid out by Masamune in the seventeenth century. The main downtown area, a high-rise district of offices, banks and shopping malls, lies on the east bank of the Hirose-gawa. Its principal thoroughfare,\u00a0Aoba-d\u014dri<\/strong>, runs west from the train station to the far side of the river, where the main historic sights are located. Roughly halfway along, it\u2019s crossed by bustling Ichiban-ch\u014d, which together with the covered Ch\u016b\u014d-d\u014dri forms the heart of a bustling nightlife and shopping neighbourhood.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>
