Asagaya Tanabata Matsuri is one of the three largest Tanabata festivals in Japan!
Tanabata is a traditional festival based on a the Chinese Qixi Festival. It celebrates the story of the Cowherd Star (Altair) and Weaver Star (Vega), lovers separated by the Milky Way, who were allowed to meet just once a year on the seventh day of the seventh month. We write our wishes on colorful pieces of paper and tie them to bamboo trees. This tradition is especially popular with children in Japan.
You can look at many paper sculptures and enjoy local festival/street food.
