E BeanS, 3F event space

E BeanS is a two-minute walk from JR Sendai Station's west exit and connects directly to subway Sendai Station's South 2 exit. The free exhibition closes on 30 September, with last entry at 19:30. Its separate six-stop stamp rally continues through 31 October; each stop has its own hours. The organiser's 10 September notices restrict selected collaboration alcohol sales at the 3F venue to specified dates and limit each Signature Edition and Navy Edition reproduction artwork to one per person. Check those notices before travelling for merchandise; they do not change the exhibition's daily opening hours. Crowd-related entry restrictions may apply.

Michinoku YOSAKOI Festival

第29回 仙台みちのくYOSAKOIまつり

10-11 October 2026

Seven venues across Sendai

The official outline lists six stage venues and one parade venue across Sendai. Paid-seat advance sales run from 20 August through 7 October 2026 at 23:59 (P-code 661-877). Before entry, exchange an advance ticket at the merchandise tent for the colour-coded wristband for its time block and seat type. Seats are unreserved and entry is first-come, first-served; the printed number is only an organiser reference, not an entry order. Re-entry is allowed, and holders of consecutive wristbands may remain in the same seat between blocks; unattended belongings may be held at changeover. Exact team-by-team performance times were not confirmed from a 2026 detailed schedule at this check, so use the latest official schedule before visiting.
