Until July 7, the Hamarikyu Onshi Garden is holding the Tanabata Festival, in which visitors decorate strips with "wishes".

Tanabata decorations are installed at three major locations in the park: Kadoguchi, Nakano Kadoguchi, and Nakajimateahouse.

On the table next to it, strips and writing instruments are prepared along with the origin of "Tanabata Festival".

There are colorful strips of bamboo leaves that make your desired "wish" on the leaves and leaves that sway smoothly.

Reflecting the increasing trend of foreign visitors in recent years, strips written in foreign languages are also conspicuous.

In addition, from Friday, July 16 to August 14 (Sat), the garden opens at 8:00 am one hour earlier than usual for 10 days from Friday and Saturdays.

In the midsummer, why don't you enjoy the cool breeze from the sea on your cheeks during the early morning hours and enjoy a refreshing stroll in the park?
