Sendai Royal Park Hotel Garden Light-up
Approximately 25,000 lights illuminate the hotel garden, creating a scenic winter atmosphere visible from garden pathways, guest room balconies, and restaurant seating. In one corner of the garden, a wooden dome decorated with antler chandeliers and firefly-inspired lighting provides a secret-hideout photo spot. Visitors can also gather at terrace seating for a bonfire cafe featuring hot drinks and marshmallows.
