Prepare your Sendai journey brief
- Arrival: If your flight uses Sendai Airport (SDJ) or Yamagata Airport (GAJ), give the airport on your ticket, flight number and arrival date. Add the full Sendai hotel or venue address; these airport references do not establish a road route or a collection point.
- Check the complete route between stops: The geographic references put Niigata (about 164 km) and Utsunomiya (about 208 km) from Sendai in a straight line. Use those destination guides to collect the actual entrances and required arrival times. Road distance, access and any non-road connection need checking against the complete itinerary, rather than these map measurements.
- Group and return: Include passengers, luggage and mobility needs. Put any return date, pickup time and departure flight or train in the message field.
