Belated Tanabata

Yesterday 7/7, went to Tanabata festival (七夕,) held at Hiratsuka (Kanakawa), 1 hour by train from Hamamatsucho. Tanabata in Hiratsuka is a famous one, another one is in Sendai. However, in Sendai will be held around August, probably because of difference lunisolar calendar.
There was a story behind this festival, about Orihime and Hikoboshi. See story from wiki: Tanabata


Same as any other famous places in Japan, it always crowded. There is no exception for Hiratsuka Tanabata which is one of a kind. Luckily, yesterday wasn't so hot, mostly cloudly and Humid. (damn! I hate humid).
