Sendai is already pretty well-equipped for otaku needs as the biggest city in Tohoku, the northern-most area of Honshu (Japan’s largest island). Joining the existing Gamers, Volks, Melon Books & Animate will soon be a Toranoana on Clis Road in the city center – a pretty decent-sized one too, by the looks of it. The Japanese blogosphere has already begun to latch onto the news and on 2ch the response is good. Photos after the jump.


Wow, seems that’s just blocks away from Gamers but Toranoana is directly on the street whereas you have to take a creepy elevator to reach Gamers. Love Sendai shopping area.
The elevator is as creepy as the one to Melon Books. And Toranoana will be about 100m from Gamers.
