You can study the exhibits at Zuihoden Temple, a museum with a storied past, during your travels to Sendai. While you're in the area, find time to visit its shops.
You can catch an event at Sekisui Heim Super Arena, located 2 mi (3.2 km) from central Rifu. If you think Sekisui Heim Super Arena is cool, you also might like Miyagi Stadium and Sendai Stadium, both located nearby.

Hotel Metropolitan Sendai East
10/10 Excellent
"Room was larger than average with a huge bathroom! And hotel is connected to the train station which was super convenient! Would definitely stay again!!!"
"Overall, the property was perfect. I would consider Sotetsu Fresa Inn Sendai a more upscale Japanese business hotel. Room was clean and modern with a good selection of amenities. It's just a short walk from Sendai Station and conveniently located near many restaurants and shops. Unfortunately, breakfast is not complimentary but there are many breakfast options in the surrounding area. I found a cheap onigiri shop just around the corner from the hotel for just 150 yen each and the portions were generous, better than the ones at the convenience stores. There is also Asaichi Market, which I recommend taking a stroll through. "
"Pleasant staff, very efficient. Room was clean, central location, close to large strip mall and train station. Bed was comfortable and room was quiet."
