In the Edo period, on the night of January and July 26 in old calendar.
The event that waits for the moon to come out is "26 nights waiting"
He said.
As a famous place to wait for the moon in Edo
The busiest was along the coast from Takanawa to Shinagawa.
There are stalls near the coast, and there are houseboats for viewing moons.
It seems to have been crowded with many people.

In addition, Kudanzaka, Tsukiji Kaite,
Yushima Tenmangu Shrine, Fukagawa Suzaki, etc. were famous for viewing the moon.
<Ryogoku Bridge>
From now on, the season of fireworks festival.
There seems to be more opportunities to look up at the night sky.
I want to cool off well.
