Sendai International Center Exhibition Hall
Located at the foot of the site of Sendai Castle, in a lush green environment, is the Sendai International Center, and other cultural facilities such as museums and art galleries, as well as the Kawauchi Campus of the representative of academia in Sendai – Tohoku University. The exhibition building of the Sendai International Center with 3,000㎡ of exhibition space and connected to the International Center was opened in April, 2015. The Third UN World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction was held in March, 2015 accommodating for 6,500 participants from over 185 different countries, proving Sendai’s ability to hold large scale conventions.
Furthermore, the convenience of the center was vastly improved with the opening of the Tozai subway line in December, 2015, linking the center to Sendai JR station. Travelling time between the two stations is only 5 minutes. The community square of about 19,000㎡ adjacent to the International Center Station on the Tozai subway line can be used not only as a carpark but also as an area for 8,000㎡ tents for large scale conventions.
