Origine & histoire

Started in 1951 to revive the post-war shopping district, it grew into one of Japan's three great Tanabata festivals, famed for the sheer scale of its decorations.

Bon à savoir

Go after dark on the first two nights when the streamers are illuminated; weekends get extremely crowded.
