Sendai Tanabata Festival
The Sendai Tanabata Festival is when the shopping streets of central Sendai and the surrounding area are decorated with colorful Tanabata decorations. It is affectionately known as "Tanabata-san" by the locals.
There are all kinds of traditional Japanese dance, music performances, and taiko drum shows. It's a fantastic way to experience Japan's rich culture.
Ginza-Dori street
Ginza-Dori street is one of Japan's most prestigious shopping districts with a sense of history and elegance. It is lined with department stores and high-end brand stores, rivaling New York's Fifth Avenue and London's Oxford Street.
Visitors can take a leisurely stroll down the street and enjoy a pleasant shopping experience.
Daisetsuzan Sounkyo Kurodake Ropeway
Located at the center of Hokkaido, Daisetsuzan, a mountain range of eight volcanos, is called the ‘’god’s playground.” One of them is Mt.Kurodake, rising 1,984m above sea level. A nature hike along alpine plants and Ezo chipmunks in spring and summer, gorgeous fall foliage in autumn, and ski or snowshoe hike in winter. Daisetsuzan is fun to visit throughout the year.
When I woke up in the morning, it was snowing heavily and visibility was really bad. I was worried the ropeway would be closed, but luckily I got to ride it. Once I reached the fifth station, I got to see the real beauty of nature.
