Starting August 2, 2025, the Loople Sendai sightseeing bus has resumed its original route to the Sendai Castle Sites. Direct road access had been closed since March 2022 due to earthquake damage, but with repairs to the stone walls now completed, vehicle traffic has reopened.
This restoration provides shorter and more convenient access from the city center to one of Sendai’s most iconic historical sites, benefiting both leisure travelers and participants of international conferences.
