July 7th is the day of Star Festival called Tanabata in Japan.
Rinshinomori Park - I often take an hour-long walk there The Star Festival is considered to be a mixture of Chinese tradition and indigenous religion of Japan. Actually, it was introduced into Japan in the 8th century and became popular during the Edo Period. In the story, a couple, Orihime (Vega) and Hikoboshi (Altair), can only meet across the Milky Way once a year on the night of July 7th.
Osaki Station On the day of Tanabata, people write their wishes on colorful strips of paper and hang them on bamboo branches. When I was a child, I always wished I could become a professional baseball player. Osaki Station Women wear a Yukata, Japanese summer kimono at Tanabata.
