Tanabata, also known as the Star Festival, is one of the most beloved holidays in Japan. This tradition has its roots in a romantic legend that tells of the annual meeting of two star lovers, Orihime and Hikoboshi, separated by the Milky Way. During Tanabata, it is customary to write wishes on colored strips of paper, called tanzaku, and hang them on bamboo branches in the hope that they will come true. In Protected content , you will also find colorful tanzaku on which to write your wish and hang it among the bamboo.
The garden will have a market with typical products (kimono, daruma, manga, etc.) and a street food area.
Let yourself be overwhelmed by the taste of karaage (fried chicken), takoyaki (octopus balls), gyoza (Japanese dumplings), and don't miss a cold Kirin beer or a soft drink. And with every order, a free mochi sweet!

You cannot miss!
