01 Nov - For our first weekend in Sendai, we decided to visit the Sendai Umino-Mori Aquarium and the Mitsui Outlet Park Sendai Port which is nearby. For our hotel, we chose the Dormy Inn EXPRESS Sendai Seaside which has a 4.4 out of 5.0 ratings over 1500+ reviews on Google Maps. We checked out of our existing hotel promptly at 10am and took a train to Nakanosakae Station, before walking about 30mins to Dormy Inn.
One interesting fact we found during this Japan trip is that all the hotels do not allow early check-in when you arrived early. When they say check-in starts at 3pm, they will only give you the room key at 3pm! If you want early check-in, you need to pay for it!
Anyway, we deposited our bags with the receptionists and off we go to Mitsui Outlet Park Sendai Port.

Usually for outlet malls, we will find some good deals but this time, it is not the same. After doing the currency conversion, the price is actually more expensive than Singapore, especially foreign branded goods. In addition, most shops are selling winter wears, which are not suitable for Singapore tropical weather. In the end, we camped inside the food court as *OEE* catches his nap and left the site empty handed. Well before we left, we rode the ferry wheel to take a look at the night scene, which is kind of ......... boring. Haha

We made it back in time for the traditional complimentary supper served by Dormy inn from 9.30pm to 11pm. For this Dormy, they are serving the
Yonaki Soba Noodle. It sure tasted good! After which, we took a bath at the onsen and retired for the night, to recover energy for tomorrow aquarium visit!
