Akiu Traditional Craft Village — Attraction in Sendai

It's a 20 minute walk from the bus station if you catch the city bus from Sendai station, some of it up hill, so be prepared.

The park is small maybe 5 vendors but the are three worth stopping in. We hit the chest shop first but it was so far outside our price range. If you can afford 1k or more we can't suggest it enough.

Public restrooms and another bus stop for a bus we weren't sure...

A local craftsman took me there and although I've lived in Sendai for twenty years, it was my first visit. It was a quiet day and there were open ateliers with artisans working on their crafts. I learned customers can experience making various wooden products like chopsticks, dolls and toys. Workshop cost is about 1000...

Akiu craft park is a nice fun date, only about 40-50 minutes by bus from Sendai station. There are a range of little huts where you can do different crafts. We chose to paint our own Japanese wood dolls for about 1000Y. Suggest spending about 1-2 hours here. Beware the last bus back...
