Car - Sendai airport is actually in Natori. Follow the Route 4 down through Sendai and keep going south. There is a sign for the turn off to the airport. It's a left turn by a big overpass (which is under construction and goes nowhere). Follow this road straight all the way to the aiport, where the road ends. If you're just poppping in for a few minutes you can park in front of the terminal. Otherwise, there is a short-term car park right in front of the terminal that's only a few hundred yen.
Nagoya Airport
The train from the main Nagoya train station to the airport is on the Meitetsu line. It operates an express service for ï¿¥350 more than the regular ï¿¥850. It's easy to find as there are signs in the station with an airplane drawn on it to give you info as to which track the train is on. The train lands you in the terminal itself and all you do is come out and go through the turnstiles and you are ready to check in.
