Izumi-Chuo vs. Yaotome — how do they differ?

Izumi-Chuo concentrates the sub-city center functions and abundant shopping; Yaotome is primarily residential and rents run 5–10% cheaper.

Do I need a car in Izumi Ward?

Large shopping centers are walkable from stations, but hillside residential estates such as Shogen and Nankodai are far more convenient with a car.

Northern Izumi (towards Mt. Izumigatake) gets the most snow in Sendai. The flatland around Izumi-Chuo is no worse than the city center.
