This marks HK Express’s second Japanese destination launch this year, following Hiroshima. In just four hours, passengers can easily embark on an exciting adventure to Japan’s Tohoku region, opening up new possibilities for exploration and cultural immersion.

Sendai – City of Trees


Sendai, often called the “City of Trees,” is the largest city in the Tohoku region of northern Japan. Known for its lush greenery, rich history, and warm hospitality, Sendai offers visitors a perfect blend of urban convenience and natural beauty.

Zelkova tree-lined avenues adorn the city, creating a picturesque appearance that captivates visitors throughout the year. Travelers to Sendai can explore numerous attractions, including the iconic Sendai Castle ruins, offering panoramic views of the city.

The Zuihoden Mausoleum, resting place of the famous feudal lord Date Masamune, showcases stunning traditional architecture. Food enthusiasts will delight in Sendai’s culinary scene, featuring local specialties like grilled beef tongue and savory zunda mochi.

Nature lovers can venture to nearby Matsushima Bay, considered one of Japan’s three most scenic views. The Bay boasts pine-clad islands dotting the azure waters. The region also boasts excellent hot springs, ski resorts, and hiking trails, making it an ideal destination for outdoor enthusiasts.
