Ask for the Loople and subway combined one-day pass

Sobre esta Tip
Loople Sendai loops past Zuihoden, the castle ruins, the museum and Osaki Hachimangu, and a one-day pass exists that also covers both subway lines. It pays off on a day that mixes bus-only sights with quick subway hops, for example to Kotodai Park. Buses leave every 20 minutes on weekdays, so build the day around the loop and use the subway between stops. Ask for the combined pass by name.
