Tanabata Festival in Tokyo

The Asagaya Tanabata Matsuri is considered one of the three greatest festivals of its kind throughout Japan. During the event, colorful bamboo displays adorn the area stretching from the south exit of JR Asagaya Station, through the Pearl Center Shopping Street, all the way to the Ome Kaido entrance. There are also inventive papier-mache ornaments, decorative banners, and streamers. The wide variety of booths and stalls attracts a lively crowd to this event each year. About 1 kilometer long, the covered arcade shopping street is filled with lots of inventive hanging decorations, which are all hand-made mainly using papier-mâché. They are cute, funny, colorful and unique, and you could visit many times during the 5-day period and still not get tired of looking at them. Animated characters are very popular and many people take photos to capture them, since every year has different decorations! During the festival, many food and drink street vendors line the streets. You can enjoy shopping and Japanese old fashioned festival activities, such as goldfish scooping and more. *Opening Hours 10:00–22:00 For start and finish times, visit the official website. The event will take place in the event of light rain. *How to Get There Asagaya Station | 1 min on foot JR Chuo Line | JR Sobu Line Minami-Asagaya Station | 1 min on foot Marunouchi Line #tokyotrip #trip #japan #japanfestival
