About Sendai
Sendai is Tohoku's largest city and the region's main base for remote workers. At around 1.5 hours from Tokyo by Tohoku Shinkansen, it combines genuine urban infrastructure with a relaxed, tree-lined atmosphere that earns it the nickname Mori no Miyako (City of Trees). The city runs two subway lines and an extensive bus network, with most colivings and sharehouses a short walk from a station in the central wards of Aoba-ku and Wakabayashi-ku. Rents are significantly lower than Tokyo or Osaka, and the city has an established community of international students from Tohoku University and other institutions, making it more foreign-resident-friendly than many regional cities of similar size.
