To celebrate Tanabata (the traditional Japanese star festival), a bamboo
grass tunnel and an artificial Milky Way will be created at Shitennoji
Temple.
The tunnel will be 25m long and the Milky Way made with
brilliant LEDs.
If you walk through the bamboo grass tunnel decorated
with tanzaku (colorful strips of paper on which people write their
wishes), your wish might be heard by the stars.
On July 5 & 6, the
venue will be lined with street stalls. There will also be various
events, including a concert, an astronomical viewing session, and
lectures relating to stars.
(Some events will be charged.) On July 8, a
fire ritual will be held at the temple to burn the tanzaku.
Fee
: Admission Free
For charity: Candle 100 yen, Shitennoji tanzaku 100 yen
Schedule :
July 5 to 8, 2014
