As your plane descends, you'll catch glimpses of the beautiful Tohoku region, with Sendai Airport awaiting to welcome you. Small yet mighty, this airport serves as the gateway to the vibrant city of Sendai and the wider Miyagi Prefecture.

Navigating Sendai Airport

The airport is conveniently compact, with straightforward signage in English, so finding your way around is a breeze. Mostly, you'll find two levels - the first floor for arrivals and the second for departures.

Car Rental Stations

You will find counters offering car rental services at the International Arrival Hall, from renowned providers like Avis, Budget, and Toyota Rent-a-car. Having your own wheels means freedom to schedule your holiday exactly how you like.

Fuel Filling Stations

There are several petrol stations near the airport, including ENEOS and Cosmo. Remember, these may operate differently from those back home - here, an attendant will fill your tank, and payments are typically cash-based.

Driving and Connectivity

Driving in Japan can be quite different from the UK. Rest assured, we've got some handy tips to help you get about.

Japanese Driving Rules

Like in the UK, Japan follows the 'keep left' rule; however, overtaking is normally done from the right - the exact reverse of what you might be used to. Also, it's vital not to depend on a English GPS as road signs are mostly in Japanese.

Route to City Centre

From Sendai Airport, it's only a 30-minute drive to the city centre. Upon pickup of your rental car, hop onto the Sendai Tobu Road, which will lead you right into the heart of Sendai city.

Surrounding Cities

And there's more to discover beyond Sendai. With a rental car, cities like Yamagata and Fukushima are within reach, making day trips a great addition to your itinerary.

Japanese Yen and Climate

The currency in Japan is Yen (JPY), and it's always beneficial to have some cash at hand as Japan is still predominantly cash-based, especially for smaller vendors and rural zones. The climate varies with seasons, but generally, it's milder than the British weather.

Car Class Recommendations

Roads in Japan are well-maintained and typically narrower than in the UK. Intermediate or standard class cars are recommended for their perfect blend of comfort, luggage space and manouverability.

Embark on your Japanese adventure with ease, choosing the perfect car to suit your needs and exploring the wonders of Sendai and beyond at your own pace.
