Plan a Sendai Tanabata night itinerary for 2026: compare staying in the downtown arcades with moving to Aobayama Night Fest from 19:00–21:00, including buses, crowds, walking and exit timing.

Plan Sendai Tanabata Festival 2026 from August 6–8 with the arcade route, hotels, meals, Matsushima, luggage and rain backup.

Mount Kurikoma and Naruko Gorge offer two very different autumn trips. Compare the hiking, transport, foliage timing and onsen options before choosing your route.

Plan the 2026 Sendai Tanabata Festival by separating the eve fireworks from the three main festival days, with shopping-street routes, hotels and crowd advice.
