Aoba Ward

Vast Aoba-ku covers much of Sendai city and extends deep into the mountains, where renowned hot spring village Sakunami Onsen has outdoor baths and traditional Japanese restaurants with views of surrounding peaks. Wild valley terrain around the Okura River and Dam is marked by hiking trails and tiny Shinto shrines. The landmark Nikka Whisky Sendai Factory hosts distillery tours and tastings of oak-aged single malts.
