Ichibancho 4-chome Shopping Street Promotion Association

Flow of the course

About this spot

The northern section of the arcade shopping street that runs north to south through central Sendai, continuing almost all the way to Kotodai Park. The roof keeps off direct summer sun and sudden rain, which is a big advantage when walking with children. The range of restaurants is wide, making it easy to settle on a lunch that satisfies a family with different tastes. There are also drugstores and clothing shops, so you can top up anything you need for water play here. You can walk on to the park from here, so lunch flows straight into the afternoon plan.

Tips

Popular restaurants get crowded around noon on weekends, so arriving between 11 and 12 means being seated without a wait. It is wide enough for a stroller, but keeping to the edge is safer at busy times. If you are short on a change of clothes or towels, pick them up at a drugstore or specialty shop here.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour 20 minutes. To avoid the crowds, the 11 o'clock hour is most comfortable.
