On Sunday, May 17, 2026, 27 international students from all over the world proudly participated in the Sendai Aoba Matsuri, pulling the beautiful float of the Fujisaki Department Store through the streets of Sendai.

For hours, under the clear blue sky of this wonderful spring morning, the students became part of one of Sendai’s most historic festivals. Beyond the celebration itself, they shared unforgettable moments, built meaningful bonds, and created memories that will stay with them for the rest of their lives, even after becoming Alumni of Tohoku University.

A day of culture, friendship, and unforgettable experiences!
