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!

HJ's Birthday at Hattifnatt

July 16 is Hyunji's birthday and this year we celebrated it at Hattifnatt, a very cute cafe at Koenji.
It is so far the cutest cafe I've ever visited in Japan that serve good food :)
I really recommend everyone to give it a try!

P.S: I've ever been to both Koenji and Kichijoji stores and I like the Koenji one better ;)

Look at that painting on the wall. Of course I have no choice besides loving this cafe.



The very cute little handmade and written menu

Yaya is busy looking at the menu

The waitress later took the birthday cake and cut them for us. 10/10 for the decoration!

What's unique about this cafe is that the interiors and outer look of the cafe are really small that will make you feel like a giant!

:D
