Spring and Summer Events!

After a successful journey to Sapporo for Yuki Matsuri, MAJET put on our first ever Izakaya Quiz in Sendai during March! (To be distinguished from prior pub quizzes.)
Four teams competed in a Jeopardy-style battle, and fortunately there were no casualties by the end of the night! In April, we had a less successful hanami event; however, we blame it on the weather!

Now that things have finally warmed up in Miyagi, we would like to announce the next round of events! In late May or early June, we will organize a Mt. Kurikoma climb - our first event of this kind. In late June, we will have our annual Leavers Party on Oshima Island. And in July, we will once again hold the Miyagi International Art & Culture Show! More details on these events can be found on their respective pages. Hope you can make it out!

That sad (or happy, depending on how you look at it) time of the year is coming when we must say goodbye to those who are leaving Miyagi.

Following tradition, this year's Leavers Party will take place on Oshima Island on Saturday, July 6.

For more information (and to sign up!), please check out: the Oshima Leavers Party page.

Hope to see you there whether you are leaving or staying!

Hanami in Sendai

SPRING IS COMING.

You have survived. As ALTs across the country emerge from their kotatsus, wiping sembei crumbs from their clothes and blinking their eyes in the spring light, it becomes clear that finally, the season has changed.

 Spring officially springs in Japan when the cherry blossoms arrive, at which point there is a frenzy of partying as everyone with a tarpaulin and a highball sets up in the park for a flower viewing (hanami or 花見) party. Far from being an event of reserved Zen calm, hanami is often an exciting and bustling event, with food, and booze being shared among friends, families and co-workers.

 To celebrate Hanami, MAJET will be hosting a Hanami party! Tsutsujigaoka Park in Sendai contains the tree from which Sendai’s Hanami forecasts are made; when a certain percentage is covered, it’s hanami time.

 This year’s party will be held at Tsutsujigaoka Park. We are aiming to host it on April 13th, although this can change depending on the weather, and whether Hanami will have been officially declared. Check out our Hanami page for the full details.
