Origen e historia
Begun in 1954 to draw summer shoppers, it is counted among Japan's three great Tanabata festivals and famous for its competitive, hand-built character floats.
Bueno saber
The arcade is roofed, so this is a great rainy-day option; weekday evenings are far less packed than the weekend.
