She often travels to Sendai for shopping on weekends and here are some pictures from her recent trip!

It’s Shanjae‘s post from Sendai (Japan)
Location: Sendai, Japan
Follow Shanjae on her blog if you like the post. (She will soon add some more nice photos in her own blog.)

First of all, here’s a picture from Sendai’s Mitsui Outlet Park

Next, this is along Ichibancho Shotengai (一番街商店街)

And of course, the highlight in Sendai right now has to be this event called “Sendai Pageant of Starlight”!

Basically, all the trees along Jozenjidori (定禅寺通) are illuminated with LED lights.

Looks so romantic!

What a pleasure it must be to be driving along this road!

There’s even a friendly Santa Claus driving around waving to people in his flashy car!

Finally, this is Kododaikoen (勾当台公園), where there are various events and many roadside stalls.

Hope you enjoyed the pictures. I plan to put more details and photos on my personal blog soon so do check it out if you are interested!

Wow~, thank you so much Shanjae! They are very beautiful and I’m happy to be able to share all these wonderful pictures with the rest of the TKE readers!! I’ve never been to Sendai myself, but I definitely want to be there in this time of the year. The place is just so romantic and I love it!!

It was so nice to have been able to see Christmas illuminations from several different places on the globe. In case I receive more Christmas illuminations photos from our readers by 25th Dec., I’ll continue to post later than the Christmas day. Unless otherwise, this will be the final Christmas illuminations post from TKE readers. Thank you for participating in this small project.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year~~!!

I’m pleased to be able to share with you another entry of Christmas illuminations photo project.
The entry is by Lisa.

Lisa is currently living and working in Miyazaki prefecture, Kyushu region, Japan. She kindly sent me the beautiful pictures of Christmas illuminations from there so we can all share these.

The Wellness Plaza is a place where events are often held in Miyakonojo.

There’s also a study room you can access for free until 10pm (I used it for my Japanese exam prep. ^^) They also have a small cafe and sell handmade crafts by local designers.

The photos are just of the outside (front and side)…

because there really aren’t any lights inside the building. There were a couple of small trees, but not so interesting.

Many thanks to Lisa! They are so beautiful. I think it’s enough, they have such beautiful illuminations outside, let’s say it’s OK even if their inside is not so interesting. ^ ^; I wish all of you have a merry Christmas and a happy new year~~.

Here’s another post from Singapore! Remember Pei’s Orchard Rd? Now Chiohui shares Christmas illuminations/decorations from other places in Singapore!

2nd pic was…

at CitiLink (a passage link that link from City Hall Mrt station towards Marina Sq/ Suntec City)

3rd pic was…

inside Marina Sq shopping center. i find this really pretty and interesting =)

Wow, they look so beautiful. Especially the first one, I want to go inside the tree~. Thank you so much for sharing these, Chiohui!!
