How can I get to Zao and get around on a budget?
Scoping out the transportation options in Zao is a smart way to keep your trip affordable. The closest airport is 18.5 mi (29.8 km) from the centre in Sendai (SDJ). However, if that doesn't suit your budget, you can look into flights to Yamagata (GAJ), which is 24.3 mi (39.1 km) away. Zao might not have many public transport options so renting a car could be an economical alternative to explore the area.
