Where is Sendai International Airport?

Now, a question for you all: Where is Sendai International Airport?

Sendai International Airport is located in Natori City, Miyagi Prefecture, which is next to Sendai City.

I say "on the address" because the site straddles Natori City and the neighboring city of Iwanuma. If you check the address, you'll see that it is an "unnumbered" address

It may be an unfamiliar term, but "no number" refers to land that has not been assigned a lot number in a public land tender.Since it is a well-known facility, it does not have a lot number so that its location cannot be identified as a target for attack, etc

How do I get to Sendai International Airport?

There are two ways to get to Sendai International Airport: by car or by train

If you are traveling by train, you can take the Sendai Airport Access Railway or the Sendai Airport Access Line. Head to Sendai Station from your area and then transfer to the Sendai Airport Access Line at Sendai Station

There is no need to transfer and you can arrive at Sendai Airport in a maximum of 25 minutes

If you're traveling by car instead of taking the train, take the Sendai Tobu Road. It takes about 13 to 20 minutes to get there from the Sendai Airport IC. If you don't use the expressway, the quickest way to get from Sendai Station to Sendai Airport is 23 minutes, and even if you get stuck in traffic, you can still get there in just over an hour

Is it close to Sendai? Or far?

Many people from outside Miyagi Prefecture head to Sendai International Airport via Sendai, but it's not far, being roughly 20km away and a 25-minute train ride. If you're driving, it may seem far depending on where you live, but it's only about 30 minutes from the city center, so it's not too far

Once you arrive at Sendai Airport Station, you can travel without any inconvenience as the station and the Sendai Airport Terminal are directly connected

Souvenirs and delicious food available at Sendai International Airport

Sendai Airport sells souvenirs not only from Miyagi but also from the Tohoku region

If you don't want to carry extra luggage with souvenirs while traveling, you can enjoy your trip without adding to your luggage by purchasing souvenirs at the airport

NISHIKIYA KITCHEN

Nishikiya Kitchen is a store where you can purchase retort pouch foods from Nishiki Foods, which has a factory near the airport

Nishiki Foods now has a store in Tokyo, but it originally became famous for producing retort pouch foods for MUJI

There are many products, and some that are not available in other retort pouch foods, so many people buy them as souvenirs. Personally, I recommend the "Japanese-style Curry Grape Sansho Keema," and the numbing spiciness of the sansho pepper is irresistible

Zunda Saryo

When people think of Miyagi, many people think of "Zunda," but Zunda Saryo is a popular shop that sells Zunda products, and is a place that tourists visit at least once during their trip

You can purchase zunda mochi, zunda-flavored sweets, and the ever-popular zunda shakes

Zunda is a souvenir unique to Sendai, and a Miyagi flavor that you should try at least once during your trip. Be sure to try a zunda shake before heading home!

SKY SHOP BOOMERANG

This shop not only sells souvenirs from Miyagi, but also some rare items

If you get a little hungry before boarding, you can purchase sandwiches and rice balls, and they also sell Blue Impulse merchandise, which is based at Matsushima Air Base of the Ministry of Defense Air Self-Defense Force

Blue Impulse merchandise is hard to come by outside of the local area, so this is a great choice for anyone looking for a unique souvenir

General store "Hagi"

Hagi General Store stocks a wide variety of products, from famous products representing not only Miyagi Prefecture but also the Tohoku region, to B1 gourmet foods

You may even discover products that you may have checked locally but missed

While traveling, you may not be able to purchase boxed souvenirs because they are too large and difficult to carry around, but if you are only returning home, you can purchase them without worry
