Sendai (仙台市 Sendai-shi?, lett. "Città di Sendai") è una città del Giappone, di circa un milione di abitanti, capoluogo della prefettura di Miyagi, nonché la città più grande nella regione di Tōhoku ed una delle venti città designate per ordinanza governativa del Giappone. La città fu fondata nel 1600 dal daimyō Date Masamune ed è conosciuta con il soprannome di "città degli alberi" (杜の都 mori no miyako?, l'ideogramma 杜 ha un carattere sacro): infatti sulla via Jōzenji (定禅寺通 Jōzenji dōri?) e sulla via Aoba (青葉通 Aoba dōri?) si trovano 60 piante di zelkova. Nel 2011 la città fu pesantemente colpita dal terremoto del Tohoku e dal successivo tsunami, che causarono pesanti distruzioni nelle zone costiere della città. In estate si tiene il più grande festival giapponese Tanabata della nazione. Durante l'inverno, nel mese di dicembre, gli alberi vengono decorati con migliaia di luci per un evento chiamato Hikari no pageant (光のページェント Hikari no pējento?, lett. "Corteo di luci").
