    Miyagi Sendai-shi Aoba-ku Ichibancho 2-3-28
    This back alley shopping district is located in Ichibancho 2-Chome, Aoba Ward, Sendai City. It originated from the many street vendors that gathered here during the recovery from the bombing of Sendai in 1945. Even today, it retains its retro Showa period vibe. The alley is lined with izakaya (Japanese-style pubs) and other restaurants as well as clothing stores, sundries shops, and other vendors.

    こちらは、仙台駅より徒歩7分くらいの一番町にある昭和感漂う横丁で200mくらいあります。 早い時間だったので、まだ賑わいを見ることが出来ませんでした。 次回はここでハシゴをしたいと思わせる雰囲気でよかっです。 ちなみに、この横丁の近くには、文化横丁があります。

Miyagi Areas

Lying along the northeastern coast of Japan, Miyagi prefecture is home to lashings of natural parks, oysters, and hot springs. While the bustling city of Sendai offers some simple city entertainment, it’s the Matsushima islands that deserve the most attention, having boosted the prefecture’s reputation as one of Japan’s most scenic views.
