The event will feature Japanese food and drink stands, as well as cultural exhibitions and performances. You can also enjoy the atmosphere of the Japanese Star Festival (“Tanabata”), a celebration based on the romantic folklore of star-crossed lovers who are separated by the Milky Way and are only able to meet once a year. People celebrate Tanabata by writing their wishes on colorful strips of paper and hanging them on bamboo branches, alongside other decorations.
While admission is free, please note that items including food and drinks will be available for purchase. Additionally, some items and offers are available on a first-come, first-served basis and will end once supplies run out. Be sure to arrive early to make the most of these opportunities!
