Yuzuru Hanyu has served as a Sendai Tourism Ambassador since 2014, appearing in tourism guidebooks, posters and videos to promote the city domestically and abroad. In the video, he talks about his favorite places of his hometown under the theme "#ImHomeSendai" provoking the feeling of wanting to return to Sendai in both first-time visitors as well as repeat tourists.
The 30-second clip showcases five locations in Sendai, including the International Center Subway Station, home to a monument depicting a memorable scene of Hanyu’s figure-skating program, as well as the Zuihoden Mausoleum, where stunning landscape created by nature and culture can be found.
