This particular Tanabata event was started in 1951 for the development of the local shopping district.
What is Tanabata?
Tanabata is based on the story of two star-crossed lovers who are allowed to meet only once a year, crossing the Milky Way on the seventh day of the seventh month. Today, people celebrate by writing wishes on narrow strips of paper and tying them to bamboo branches.
What happens?
There will be a wide range of events centered around Fussa Station such as performances and dances. Character shows and other events will also be held on a specially constructed stage at the Okano Plaza. Approximately 100 stalls manned by residents will line the street.
How to get there
To get to Fussa Station, take the Chuo Line from Shinjuku Station for 45 minutes. Some trains require a change at Tachikawa Station to the Ome Line.
Organizers may cancel events, alter schedules, or change admission requirements without notice. Always check official sites before heading to an event.
