Team JTB Sendai
There are a total of 49 of us working here in the Sendai branch of JTB Tohoku Corp. With our sales force constantly out and about, you could say that we are well-attuned to what's going on in our city. We are always hearing from our local customers and business partners: that's why we are able to give you all the latest knowledge on the liveliest events, newest shops, and tastiest restaurants!
Sendai is known within Japan as one of the most desirable places for people to live in. Sendai's good quality of life is based on a balance of rural charm and big city fun and functionality. The number of people who have ended up settling down here after having been transferred from Tokyo are testament to this. Why not come and see what makes Sendai such a great place to live!?
