On Wednesday, August 2, 2023, a get-together for the Association of Medical Sciences was held at the Sun Mall Ichibancho Shopping Arcade. This project has been recognized by the Japan Tourism Agency as a “Project to Improve the Competitiveness of Attracting International Conferences Following Post-COVID – International Program for Demonstration Targets,” and the Sendai Convention Bureau cooperated with the event as a get-together utilizing the shopping street as a unique avenue.
Participants deepened their friendship while taking commemorative photos with the Date Bushotai, a group of characters from Sendai’s rich history and culture, and enjoying light meals featuring Sendai’s famous “sasa-kamaboko” fish cake and “gyutan” beef tongue together with Miyagi’s local sake. After the get-together, participants used coupons distributed at the event visit locations in the surrounding shopping streets.
The Sendai Convention Bureau will continue to be involved in discovering and promoting the various attractions of the region.
