JOZENJI STREETJAZZ FESTIVAL in SENDAI

Hello.

Yesterday, I went to Sendai alone for a day trip.

My errands finished in the morning, so I eagerly headed to Jozenji Street.

I took a quick look at the Sendai Jazz Festival, which is now in its 26th year.

It is said that over 700 bands and about 5,000 artists, both professional and amateur, gather from all over the country and overseas, and you can enjoy street jazz on 47 stages located on street corners throughout Sendai city, centered around that famous main street lined with zelkova trees.

Despite being such a wonderful event, I always had bad timing, and this was the first time I was able to see it in its 26th year.

Since the theme is a music cafeteria, many people seemed to be enjoying it casually while eating and drinking ♪

Just before boarding the Shinkansen from Sendai Station, I also saw a live performance inside the station in front of the stained glass.

Right next to it was a standing cafe, creating an otherworldly space where people were intoxicated by music and alcohol ♪
