Last update :

The SENDAI Pageant of Light was created in 1986 with the hopes of "brightening up Sendai in winter" and "transforming the City of Trees into a City of Light." The zelkova trees on the Jozenji-dori Avenue, the main street that represents the City of Trees, will be illuminated. It is loved by both locals and tourists as a wintertime tradition in Sendai that creates a fantastic world.

This annual event is held from early December through the end of the month, each year with a different theme. Hundreds of thousands of LED lights adorn the zelkova trees along Jozenji-dori, creating a dazzling world of illumination.

During the SENDAI Pageant of Starlight, various events unfold in Nishiki-cho Park. Hüttes (small huts) are set up, hosting a charming Christmas market. In addition, a variety of performers showcase their street acts. The illumination lights envelop the area, offering a multitude of delightful experiences, which is a major draw for visitors.

    每到整點的「星願時刻」,燈光全熄,然後再緩緩亮起,這個過程真的很有儀式感,感覺希望和祝福在燈光中流動,超感人!
