The Star Festival "TANABATA"

July 7th is "TANABATA" , The Star Festival, in Japan.


The Star Festival is an event originating from a Chinese legend.
According to the legend, the Milky Way, a river of stars that crosses the sky separated ORIHIME(Vega) and HIKOBOSHI(Altair) and these lovers are allowed to meet only once a year by God on July 7th.


It is said that if you write your wishes on a strip of paper called "TANZAKU" and hang it on the bamboo branch, your wishes will come true!


No only Japanese guests, but guests from all over the world wrote down their wishes on TANAZAKU !


The bamboo tree will be displayed until July 7th.
Please feel free to write your wishes when you come to Hotel Niwa Tokyo!
