Be guided through the Tanabata Festival, also known as the Star Festival, in downtown Asakusa and join in the festivities.

What to expect

Write your wishes on colorful strips of paper called tanzaku — staff will be there to help you if you want to practice writing in Japanese — and stroll through the streets of Asakusa that will be strewn with colorful decorations. In true Japanese matsuri style, there will be plenty of food stalls bursting with treats, so make sure to bring some extra cash.
