Sendai Tanabata Matsuri
Summer is the season for festivals in Japan and in Sendai the biggest summer festival is the Tanabata Matsuri in August. Tanabata happens later in Sendai than in most other parts of Japan.This picture was taken in Sendai station. When you arrive you can see beautiful decorations hanging in the main station building.
The day I visited Sendai was very windy. There were decorations hanging in the main shopping areas of Sendai, and they looked spectacular as they moved in the breeze.
The decorations this year showed many different themes. I took pictures of some of my favorites which you can see below.
