Tanabata festival

Tanabata is a Japanese star festival, it literally means the evening of seventh. According to Japanese and Chinese belief, it is the only day when the Orihime and Hikonoshi meet in a year. 

This year, Nayun and I went to a festival held at Kappa bashi. Somewhere between Ueno and Asakusa. Despite the extremely hot temperature, the festival was so much better than what I expected. There were so many stalls and people in colorful yukata! Not forget to mention that it is free to write a wish and hang it on the bamboos provided along the street.

We walked all the way to Asakusa and took so many pictures as if we were tourists :D


An old man was offering to take pictures of us :)

Hard to see, but do you see the Sky Tree at the back?




Nothing feels more Japan than a festival or Asakusa :p
and I love both of them!

Asakusa in January

If you ever come to Japan and ask me where to visit, I'll say Asakusa.
Asakusa is the most well known tourist spot here in Tokyo for both local and international visitors.

I love both Sky Tree and Asakusa Cannon Temple!



I'm not sure with what is this but I found it amusing and scary at times.




Ciao!
