【The Star Festival “TANABATA”】
It is being held from July 1st to 7th

According to legend, on the 7th day of the 7th month of the lunar calendar two star-crossed deities called Ori-hime and Hiko-boshi meet in the heavens.

Orihime represents Vega, Hikoboshi represents Altair.

Orihime and Hikoboshi fell in love and were so crazy about each other that they could not focus on their work.

The heavenly gods got angry and separated Orihime and Hikoboshi
onto the different sides of the Milk Way.

However, the heavenly gods felt sorry for them and allowed them to cross the Ama-no-gawa to meet each other once a year on July 7th.

On this day, many people pray for good weather on July 7th,
because if it rains, Orihime and Hikoboshi will not be able to meet up due to the rising water levels of Ama-no-gawa.

It is part of a tradition practiced throughout Japan celebrating
the arrival of the star festival Tanabata.

We put up bamboo decorations to celebrate the reunion of Orihime and Hikoboshi on Tanabata.

It is believed that your wish will come true if you write it on the Tanzaku and hang it on the bamboo sticks.
 
It is said that Tanabata is a special day for lovers because it is the day where lovers reunite.

Tokyo Daijingu is called Tokyo Ise Shrine.
It is popular among young women as a power spot such as marriage and love fulfillment.
